Just a thought in reference to operating systems. The new "Lindows" is linux based but can run many windows apps. You can check it out here: http://www.lindows.com/lindows_sales_intro.php I have the software but don't have enough room on this PC's hard drive to run two OS's. So I haven't been able to try it out myself, but it sure sounds neat. Smitty

I used an Apple Lisa back in the mid 80's and always thought it was easy to use. I bought a Windows machine because most of the software I use, especially AutoCAD LT, MathCAD, and some other engineering software is written specifically for Windows. However, in protest of Window's dominance, I installed a second OS, Xandros (Linux). I've never installed an operating system before, let alone getting two different ones to co-exist on the same computer. I plan to us the Xandros as much as I can, but the core use of the computer, for work, will be in Windows. I've never heard of anyone using AutoCAD on an Apple machine, not to say that it wouldn't work. AutoCAD is a requirement; no choice there since everything I generate there is opened by other AutoCAD users. BTW, AutoCAD is one of the best programs I've ever used, mainly because it is extremely customizable so you can set it up for the way you like to work.
