Heh, if you live in the U.S. you just walk in to WalMart and pick any
computer off the shelves. It will have an English operating system on it,
either XP or more probably Vista. In some markets it might have Spanish.
Goddam, I would love to get a German interface computer. Maybe if I go
there they will have a Media-Markt.
If you've been using Windows computers for as long as I have, you could
probably make an upgrade version of English language Vista work by giving it
an XP install CD to look at or something. Check the MS web pages for their
exact upgrade requirements before buying a full retail version.
Cheers
