   I think you will find the FCC decided color tv shall be compatible with B/W.

   They did NOT decide the same when it came to digital TV, in 6 to 10 years 
your current TV shall become useless without a converter box.

   I think you will find the core reason for XP is to make you buy a new 
confusor and new peripherals.
   LINUX still runs great on a 386.
