I am posting to both lists since there are knowledgeable people
everywhere...

Later this week I will buy a new computer. It will be a Wintel machine,
since I need to use it for both "real work" and my photo stuff. I have
the option of buying an off-the-shelf machine with XP Home editional
preinstalled, or having it custom-made, in which case I can of course
install whatever OS I want. The one thing that concerns me about XP is
the registration requirement and the possibility that at some point the
program will think that this is a new computer and will not let me
install some accessory or upgrade. Am I being paranoid? I would like to
hear from people who have XP computers and who have subsequently
installed things like extra SCSI cards etc.

Also, what is the situation with new drivers for peripherals like the
Nikon LS2000, Epson 2450 scanners, and Epson 700, 1200 and 1160
printers? Any special problems in the XP context?

TIA.

Nathan
