LOL!

I guess I deserved that. I just read the trash Windows ME stuff all the time and usually without any facts or information to back it up. That contrasted with my experience on a bunch of machines I guess gets me going. I've run everything from CPM to Windows XP (and Xenix to System V Unix) and and the ease of use and easy support for WinME is what makes me favor it.

...swallowing chill pill :-)

Holy Smokes, you're running XENIX?? One of my machines has SCO's AT&T UNIX running circ. 1991 - that's the oldest I have going. I've had my hands on XENIX early on, and wrote a device driver for a multi-point communications card. XENIX multitasked well on the original XT with a 8086. I may still have a set of XENIX install diskettes laying around, but it probably would get dizzy running on a Ghz machine coming from a 4.77~8Mhz world. Cracks me up you have that antique running!
