Ah.  Not quite what I meant, but nice suggestion (^.-)

I meant when there's a range like that.  For example, WinXP says something 
like
(c)1985-2002 (I forget the exact year)  And, apparently, people (Mostly 
white-hat
hackers) have been releasing dummed-down versions of Windows on the 
internet -
all the capabilities, nearly no extra features, so it runs much faster and 
costs less/nothing.

Who isn't?   =^�
