Re: Minimal operating system requirements

Sorry, folks, I now realize I should have been specific on the specs of the machine. It's an old Compaq Presario laptop with 80mb RAM, 2GHD. (I know, I have flash drives much bigger than that!). I don't recall the processor specs off hand. It currently runs Windows 95. I just think it would be fun to play with and maybe even give to Grandma for email. The battery holds no charge, but the installed programs (including IE 4.0 and MS Office 95) work great. I've been trying to get it to make a wireless internet connecttion, too, but haven't spent a great deal of time doing so. FWIW, I know that even XP will work on as little as 64mb RAM,, but not well. I'd like something that will actually work somewhat reasonably well and I know it must be out there, I just need to know what it is. Thanks for the suggestions so far, I am actively looking at all of them.
