Well that's good to hear. It seems that for many people, there is a
need to budget for a retail CD copy of XP and also for a decent
manual. Whatever the OEM puts on the disk included with a new machine
is just there to run it up on day one and check basic functions - if
there's something wrong with it it *may* show up then. If all is ok,
use your retail copy to set up the machine as you want.
