No question about that. I haven't run Win 9x at work since NT4 came out
and
run XP Pro at work. OTOH, I ran Win 98 at home until just recently. Why?
Because it was working on that machine without glitches, and was perfectly
adequate for what I was doing at home. (Actually, I could boot into either
Win 98 or NT4 on that machine, but the wife was more comfortable with 98.)
It's a question of what system suits one's needs.

Not really... it's a question of reliabilty. One glitch can cost you
inordinate amount of work and the possibilty of lost dick cluster. Win 95
was supassed by Win 98... and now XP. Waoit till Windows Longhorn arrives
next year!

Just the point. If the present setup is satisfactory, no need to spend the
extra money.

A computer is much like a boat in regards to upkeep and upgrades.

If you're running only a few programs, and they aren't very
memory-intensive, that's prolly suitable. OTOH if you were running voice
recognition and a bunch of other programs you'd want much more. At work I
generally have 10 or 11 programs open, most with multiple windows, and run
a
2.8 ghz Pentium 4 with 1 gig of RAM.

My laptop runs AutoCAD, Graphics Programs, Multimedia apps and must perform
when required. 256 megs of ram is cheap nowadays. OEM XP OS is also very
cheap.

I built my own computer. Researched the architecture, compatibility and
purchased the components then assembled it. I upgrade select
components.almost every six months.

Huh? What does the manual instructions for a keyboard have to do with
playing? And no, at this point, I probably don't play any better than
anyone...the bones in the ring finger, little finger and the palm of my left
hand are fused in places from my hand being smashed against a brick wall by
a recalcitrant foal...the physical therapy never restored flexibility...also
one of the reasons why so much katytype...some days they just don't want to
work at all...once upon a time, though, I did play well...not brilliantly,
but pleasantly..

Yeah..the manual to my Yamaha keyboard is a translation from the Japanese
version....explanations look all right until you start to apply them,
then
you realize that syntax the sentences is wrong and some of the directions
are backwards...


Heh ... you can't play any better than me!!!! Thanks for cheering me up.

Dave makes some good points. My old 1998 Dell (Pent.2) is good
enough for what I do.

Scotty will need at least 64megs of Ram to even run XP. 256megs is
recommended.

Just the point. If the present setup is satisfactory, no need to

I run Win XP Pro on my P3 600Ghz Laptop with 128megs of ram... no
problem!

Yes. So what?


Why don't you "surf" to one of the
100,000 comparison sites instead of polluting the ng with your
incessently
stupid questions.


Nobody else complained.

So what what? The answers to your questions can be had a lot faster if you
used your fat head for more than a hat rack. There's nothing wrong with
being a novice. There is something wrong with an idiot.
