charlysmom&dad - I love my older DELL M90 high end Workstation laptop setup here. I use this with a DELL DOCKING Station which supports DUAL Monitors and external keyboard/mouse, speakers, and different I/O units.
The beauty is I can just just grab the M90 Laptop out of the docking station from the house and set into a similar setup including printer in the RV Trailer and allows me to carry all of my things with me on the trips in the one M90 laptop. I also carry three or four different USB hard drives with me that has alot of my other hobbies on them like photos, drawings, Family Research, etc...
Changing to another computer will be a bummer for me. However I'm hoping all of my stuff will run on WIN 7. It may end up costing too much like you have indicated getting everything compatible again with what I have to use here...
I am planning on experimenting on a second M90 I have here that is used for my HAM RADIO interface to learn what I have to do to upgrade Dell M90's to WIN 7 PRO 32-bit... The FULL BUILD WIN7 software is available for around $130 and up at a few places.. It does however require you to fully scrub the hard drive - not an upgrade... That part is scary for me too... Then you may run into video board, DVD player, and who knows what problems that doesn't like WIN 7.
Moving data files around is not fun... Might lose something in the process...
I originally got my DELL M90 laptops off of EBAY OFF-LEASE SALES and they only cost around $500 each back then ready to go on XP. The M90 Workstation is replaced by the DELL M6000 series now and their OFF-LEASE cost is around $900 each.
Sure is a mess having to re-do things that has worked so good for you over the years... gripes me big time...
