I've noticed that people who espouse their system have been using it for a long period of time and have had 'no' problems etc etc. Closer examination would probably prove that they had experienced similair teething problems with the OS when first starting out as well. I am using ME and had no end of trouble to start till I learnt to stop trying out all the nifty little programs that looked flash and to stop playing with the damn thing till I knew what I was doing!! Hey presto my ME works great and even tho I have been offered other systems I have stuck with what I now know. One bad experience does not equal a bad system.	Guest (0)

Win2K was too long in coming and NT4 still does a good job. XP is a little bit new for many, and might be worth a crack sooner or later. They all have their merits. The older they get, the more stable they are (excepting 95). Problem is firewire, usb, etc, forces you up the path. Also depends on what you want to do. Off 97 on 98 works for a lot of people and doesn't need a grunt machine to do it. robo.	Guest (0)
