I got more than one machine.

The Windows 98SE machine can be wiped to run Linux.

I have XP Pro on that $400USD Computer with the Athlon XP2000+ CPU and 512M of RAM, I also have XP Pro on my Compaq Presario 2500 laptop. I just got the VS.NET CD yesterday and haven't had a chance to install it yet. Been too busy with studying for college, family matters, etc. Today we go to the Transportation Museum, tomorrow I fix a relative's PC whose antivirus subscription expired last year and has a daughter who runs Kazaa. Monday I have class to go to. My paper has been written, and I read most of the E-Text section for the class. So my time management doesn't allow for software installs yet.
