I forgot how I managed to get XP Home Edition on Timothy. I checked the product key, and it is one I recognize. I do have another old student copy of XP Pro stored away at the moment. I was considering just installing that, but the current setup works well as it is. If I ever get a larger HDD for Timothy, installing XP Pro will be the only option.
Speaking of HDD, you might have noticed Timothy has a Hitachi Deskstar drive, a 40GB unit. I know that people lost trust in these particular brand of disks thanks to earlier Deskstar models (made by IBM) having high failure rates, which led to a class-action lawsuit. People nicknamed the drives "Deathstars" because of it. Even Hitachi acquiring the Deskstar brand didn't help repair it's reputation.

I love foxes, especially the one in my avatar.
