Hi:

If you teach at a college, go the the college bookstore.  They should be
able to get the academic software for you or refer you to a larger one that
can get if for you.  Your college ID will get you the academic discount.

I srongly suggest XP Pro over Xp home.  Home is a subset of Pro and does
not have all the features that Pro offers.  Pro is for real networking.
Unfortuneately, if you do Home and want to go to PRO, there is no "UPgrade"
available, so why not just start with it to begin with.



Thanks,

Joe
