But that is different from furnishing a copy of XP. I suspect the
salesman might have been nitpicking about the terminology or
misunderstood what Norm was asking for. Or what I think Norm might have
been asking for. Norm, did you want a full copy of XP or just the
ability to recover the OS from a catastrophic failure/virus attack? If
the latter, you might rephrase the question to ask how one recovers from
a disk crash and/or find another salesman. I do find it hard to believe
that they have stopped furnishing recovery disks.
