I do have an old machine in the corner with win98 that I very rarely use - the occasional modem dial-up to test a web site download speed (my bsd box is connected via DSL), and very occasionally to optimize a graphic image in Adobe. Those two situations are about the only time I ever touch the windoze box anymore. My FBSD machine does everything I need it to do. Just remember, you won't be doing much gaming on the FBSD box, on a handful of currant games work on it. -- Chip PaxJanet@gateway.net wrote: > Hello, I hope that I've sent this to the right place.
