not using the home computer much...manly to check FGF and Triumph sites on weekends, and to SKYPE to my kids and grandkids in Denmark and Sweden...otherwise I use the office puter....if/when I retire I may upgrade to Mac or such.
Yup, XP needs constant attention. I close Skype completely when I'm not using it. Always seems to be doing something when I'm browsing taken up resources.
