I also have an XP machine across the room, behind me, for the occasional
use of legacy software. but it is not connected to the outside world.
Works fine, using Sneaker Net and a thumb drive.

Now I understand the reason you're so intent on continuing to run on XP.
But running XP on the net or Win 7 on the net without all of its "important"
security fixes is truly dangerous.
I still have one computer running XP for legacy peripheral support,
but I have it blocked for web access. I gave it a static IP and I have
that IP blocked in the router, so it is only on the LAN.
My desktop computers are WIN7 and they cannot get upgraded because of
software and peripheral support. The laptop is fully upgraded to the
latest/greatest POS. Another laptop is running LINUX for another piece
of software.
Of the bunch, XP remains my favorite. It works great.
