Thanks for the advice all..

Don't get me wrong - I too am *very* ambivalent about getting Vista, and I am toying with the idea of just going with linux myself...but I'm no longer enough of a linux-head to feel totally confident that I can do that and still get everything done that I want to...so, it sounds like, I'll probably just go with another XP machine...

Thanks,

AMF
