I still see them for sale on eBay, even unopened ones.

Thanks so much. She's a big eBay user, so she should be able to find
him something.

Wow! That is a great price for XP Pro! That is if it is a legal copy.
NPR reported that 30% of them are not legal.

Anyway there are times that I rather run Windows 2000 vs. XP to be
honest with you. As it is much faster and runs in half of the RAM that
XP requires. Unless you nLite your XP copy. But you virtually end up
with Windows 2000 anyway in that case. <grin>

The con of Windows 2000 or the good news, depending how how you look at
it. Anything that requires Windows XP SP2 or higher will likely not run.
Nor can you upgrade IE past v6. Nor upgrade Windows Media Player past
v9. Although some see this as a good thing. <grin>
