I seem to recall that XP home was intentionally crippled so as to not

allow networking. (Or was that it just can't join a PDC.

I'd say putting W2K Pro on the box is a better idea. That's what I'd do.

And then I'd lock that thing down tighter than, well, having a bunch of

17 year old girls in the house tonight for a sleepover, I'll spare the

rest of that line, but you know what I'm thinking.

the shovel, just in case any of the local X-chromosome-endowed show up

here tonight.)
