[Ham-Computers] windows copies

[Jim Hill]

To the group.  It (Dell XP reinstall disk) can be 
used on other Dell computers, except possibly 
with the newest microprocessors using dual core, 
etc..  I gave a long description, but qth.net 
rejects it as spam.  Use the green label disk 
since service pack 2 is included.  Contact me directly if more info is needed.
