    Had to get your attention! Been going over this in basically two other threads, but now it seems I may have another problem...
    The coa on the 18 is a xp pro 1-2cpu. I have been reading up & it SEEMS like this is a version to itself, as others with this version have tried installing every version of xp there is, with all service packs, with no luck. Is this version that specific? I have no idea what to do here. I have offered any amount of money for a stupid restore disk from every pana. dealer I can find. Nobody has it. I don't see how that possible. HELP!!!

    I took a look at the COAs on some PCs I've got and they all say XP pro 1-2 CPU. I think that all XP COAs say that.. I seem to remember Windows NT saying that too. If motherboards exist that have more than 2 CPUs they might have a special version for them.

    Are you gonna be up in the "D" any time soon? if you are you should bring your 18 and we'll experiment on it!

    Yeah, lets experiment on it! How big of a caliber gun have you got? Or maybe we should just run over it with the bus! We'll see how tough it is then versus sixty thousand pounds! I'll set the O/S disk on top of it & then we'll FORCE the O/S into it by running over it! YEAH!!! Then we'll leave it out there in the snow to cool off awhile!
    By the way, Its seventy seven here today! BUT I HAVE TO WORK ON JUNKY BUSES!!!
