Hm. In that case, let's see if I can find it again...
ETA: Gah. Braino. Not $30, but $130. I found it on http://www.amazon.com/foo/dp/B00005MOTH/: "Microsoft Windows XP Professional {Old Version)"; the reason I remembered it was because of that "Old Version" -- i.e., no system packs incorporated. Which isn't a big deal because I have a Net connection and time to spare.
Mm. Bouncing around now, I can find an academic upgrade with SP2 for$70, and a SP2 upgrade package for $100. Looks like if I want a proper full install, this might still be the option for me.
