Thanks Larry,

I do not use XP that often and did not know of that problem.

If you want to upgrade and have a choice, get XP Pro.  If you get XP  
home and later want to try Echolink or IRLP, you'll have a security  
problem and won't be able to connecto to any station.  I found that  
out with my XP home.  had to upgrade to a faster PC so got the XP  
Pro.  Now i get my connections on Echolink and needless to say, i am  
enjoying it more.
