Mike, and list:

Not much chatter on the AXP list lately.  I've been enjoying the speed
and stability of AC2 on my 667 mhz XP machine and waiting for the 64-bit
port of Open Office to be completed.

My son was in town this summer to take a physics calss at the local
state U.  He has a 64-bit AMD laptop with Windows .. he assumed my XP
was a 2 Ghz machine and was surprised to learn that was "only" 667 mhz.

I think there are a few years of life left in the old boxes and hope the
user group will stay together.  We should all be working on it, instead
of leaving the heavy lifting up to two or three guys.
