[BC] Non Sheep

[RichardBJohnson at comcast.net]

Somebody, who has been reading my posts, walked into my office
this morning and handed me a brand new "Reinstallation CD,"
usually distributed by Dell, when you purchase a computer
from them. It says, "Microsoft Windows XP Professional."
It comes with four other (supplied) CD/DVDs.

I'm told that the "key code" from any existing installation
(a sticker on the computer) can be used for the conversion.
