Basically my laptop broke and I needed a new PC quickly, very quickly.

I can't describe how fantastic this post is.
I must admit it isn't as terrible as it would first appear although there are loads of little things I just don't want. I have always kept the shiny things as low-key as possible and as familiar to Windows 95/98 as possible. I don't appreciate being dragged kicking and screming into the 21st century.
I have no real need for it and I just think wiping it and installing XP will make this PC run faster. However, it doesn't come with any disks but it does allow me to make my own, apparantly. But in the end I'll probably settle into this and won't bother until I run this machine into the ground.
