Guest Sam457 via WindowsKB.com Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 I am thinking about buying Windows XP PRO. I saw an ad about a new company, PC Upgrading and their low prices. Do you think $75 is a good price for PC Upgrading. I heard this company is very good. -- XP Message posted via http://www.windowskb.com

Guest Curt Christianson Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 Re: Product question Why? Because every Tom, Dick, and Harry would be e-mailing MVP's with their questions. When exchanges of ideas occur within the Newsgroup, *everyone* benefits. The ones that may have a similar problem as yours, those just looking to garner a better idea of how Windows works, and lastly--and very importantly--staying in the newsgroup keeps information accurate (or more accurate). If I post some advice to you that is in error, I will be promptly called on it; usually by several members of the community. This directly benefits the OP of the problem. -- HTH, Curt Windows Support Center http://www.aumha.org Practically Nerded,... http://dundats.mvps.org/Index.htm "Sam457 via WindowsKB.com" <u33001@uwe> wrote in message news:75f2c46b8072e@uwe... | Why? | | Gary S.

Not to mention that it also benefits the person who made the erroneous post. I hate to post erroneous information, and don't think I do it often, but if I do, I *want* to be corrected.
