21635	2001-10-16 09:20:00	I am about to purchase a 2nd home computer system for the kids - mostly games & applications. This computer will NOT be connected to the Internet as this one already is. Is it worth getting XP if the computer will not be internet capable? Should I get it anyway (for the future?) Should I wait for the bugs to be gotten out of XP - like 12 months down the track? Any advise or recommendations would be appreciated.	Guest (0)

Guess it depends what games you want to use on it. As for applications I have run most major apps without a problem, except for Symantec products.	Guest (0)
