Not sure. Might want to get something to upgrade Crystal's computer with. But then again... how much does a copy of XP Pro go for on Ebay? I see some research in my future :)

Ok, our appointment *was* on the 11th so I had it moved to the 13th at 2:20. It is up to you to remember that I made note of the date and time in your journal so we can find it when I panic about not remembering when out appointment is.

I managed to get my hands on a copy of Office 2003 at one point. That was sweet, but hasn't happened since.

Also, if you have a buyer, one of the other office programs can be nice - my new neighbor's dad needed another copy of Front Page 2003 for his business, so we hooked him up, for very reasonable rates. (it normally retails for approx. $200.)

There's also the game thing, but do that if you want to play them for yourself. Resale on games, even new & in the wrapper, suck.

If you don't already own 2 copies of WinXP Pro... that can be a sweet aquisition since an the full OS is yours & you can put it on your computers until it goes the way of Win98... as long as its not on more than one computer at a time. Handy stuff.
