[geeks] Info for Cheap/Acceptable PC upgrades

[Andrew Weiss]

It's the same as NT 4.0 basically... right click on Network neighborhood 
and click Properties... or double-click on Network in the control 
panel... or open Network places and do a prop's on the LAN connection 
(this is new)... Yes they drop the Admin tools in a new spot but with a 
few clicks you can fix that.  XP on the other hand really obfuscates 
everything and makes it brain dead in the process.  XP should be 
shredded and used to fertilize a garden.
