1492,
thank you for all the help, it worked great as you said it would.
My XP will be no good after April 2014 so I have this ACER just sitting around and I thought why not use it as my main computer and get a tablet for when not at home.
1492, thank you for all you do for us on the RV net. Jay
XP WILL still be "usable" after April 2014, it WILL still FUNCTION.
What will happen after April of 2014 is MS will no longer be issuing MINOR security patches and any "enhancements" or "hot fixes". If there is a MAJOR security "hole" they may decide to issue and update.
XP will still be alive and going for many years since there are companies still using it and will be for a long, long time after MS drops support.
Heck, I still have a PC laying around with 98SE on it and it still works and I would still use it for Internet stuff but you can't get newer browsers to run on it.
I know that XP will still work but you loose your protection when you do banking, or other things on the internet. Their is enough problems on the net without updated security. I have this netbook with windows 7 sitting around not being used so I will use it and buy a tablet to use away from home.
