Thanks. Yeah that is what I was doing.

The last Windows OS I ever used was Windows 2000 [not Windows Millennium]. It actually wasn't bad. I have an XP install disc, but never used it -- my 200 GB partition is still waiting.

95% of the things I do is with a web-browser. The other things are multimedia, and VLC handles that. I have no reason to install windows.

I used to be a big linux advocate; but I know people are sometimes apprehensive trying something new -- so I kind of gave up.

Have played with linux but I never got into it. It is a great system for those that want to tweak and play with the command line like the Dos ecosystem of old, Hell still have some old laptops that uses dos shell programs. 1 meg max memory on some and one 8 meg memory unit. it does run win 3.3 or so, have not booted it in a while, use that one in my ham shack to control my Kantronics kam all mode.
