Rainman, when do you pick up the De Lorean for that machine ?

Yes the one thing holding me back is trying to figure out how to generate the 2.3 gigawatts  for a test fire

So keeping it serious for a moment gentlemen please........

have you actually engraved anything yet, or are you still annoying the neighbours with a smug grin and an occasional point into the garage...... " Look, look ! Wheres yours ? "

No need - leave it Windows 7 and download (3) separate files needed for XP Mode. All free downloads from Microsoft and it will start a Windows XP session on your Windows 7 computer.

Alternately, look into VM Ware - will accomplish the same thing....XP running on a Windows 7 host.
