So far, my oldest (5 years) has spent about two hours a day on it, learning his alphabet. Using old keyboard and mouse had around the house. The IBM hard drive included software which successfully copied my entire old hard drive onto the new, including all software and operating system settings. Windows 98 upgrade was problem-free - my first problem free Windows installation! Finally, my appreciation to the knowledgable posters here who helped me with product choices and especially to Zeuspaul for his efforts in organizing the thread and making it a very useful reference source. Best to all, Peter
