Upgrade to XP?

Good idea about the external hard drive. Everyone should own one of these. I use mine for hauling large amounts of files around to friends houses for sharing. I have never used it to back up someone's important files, but it'd work great for that. I see an 80GB on newegg right now for $50 after MIR.

edit: typo in the above post... PEM = OEM.

DO NOT BUY IT FROM EBAY if you don't know what you're doing.

oops, thanks for the correction. yeap, OEM.

I purchased mine from Newegg a couple years ago for $140. sweet price at that time.
