Slacko loads everything to RAM so performance is great. I also delved into Linux using Puppy Slacko booting from a USB drive on an HP notebook that was pretty much useless under windows with its Atom processor. Have my drive imaged and data backed up to different mediums. I am with you! Still using XP SP3 behind a firewall.

If someone hacks and destroys it, what have I got to lose? My files are backed up and hard drives are cheap. I write this with XP Home SP3, Alive and well, thank you. The “Day After” that, coinciding with the Day After you refer to, it crashed hard, never to boot again. In anticipation of my XP machine’s entry into harm’s way, I got W7 “Ultimate” (oh, really?) installed on an alternate drive.

Well, it seems the devil was at work around here also… Ah, those were the days … we were soooo cutting edge ! Earthlink dial-up internet service was 56K, but out in the boondocks at a campsite our cellphone often had 2 bars of signal which resulted in a connection speed of around 9.4Kbps for the internet !! Our browser had the option to load websites in “text-only” which was sufficient for reading emails, news, etc. Using our tethered cellphone for sending/receiving we could go online …. During our travels we would pull into a state park out in the middle of nowhere, set up camp, then bring out the laptop and cellphone onto a picnic table. The connecting cable to go from the little jack on the slot-card modem to the jack on the cellphone cost an extra $22 (we were outraged but we needed it, so we paid the price). It came with 32MB of RAM and we bumped that up to 128MB – huge! Then we added a 3Com slot-card modem specially designed to work with a Nokia cellphone. Before setting off on the “Great Adventure” in the RV we bought a Compaq 13-inch laptop with a blazing fast 333MHz cpu. Speaking of 1200 Baud rate, we had a real cutting edge setup back in 1999 when we were on the road in our motorhome.
