That with in the year my xp will be not enough to run the sites i get to now ! I know this is not the forum place to do this but ,If we all are aware of this early we can prepare for changes.

Assuming your PDA can interface with the PC, you are at the mercy of the program you are using to download. If it works without needing a patch, you will be fine. If not, there is nothing that the websites themselves can do to "fix" it.

This makes zero sense. I think someone was just trying to convince you to upgrade it to Vista as well. XP is just software, it can't "be not enough". The only thing that could be lacking is hardware on the other computer so unless you put XP onto a 10 year old machine, you have nothing to worry about.

I wouldn't worry too much about that. Most websites will continue working just fine, and places like LbNA and AQ shouldn't have any problem at all. As for PDA downloads, it's possible the software you use to download clues to your PDA may not work with Vista, but that's outside of our control. The websites will keep on working, though, regardless of the operating system being used.
