I've got one Pentium with WinME on it, and two others with Win95 on them. Everything works great, no matter which order I bring them up. Having said that, it took me a day or so to get the WinME box to talk through STN to the outside world, and I never did figure out exactly what I was doing wrong. I checked, doublechecked and rechecked my network configuration, and it is the same now as it was when I first installed it. It's been about two months since I put ME on this machine, and I think I removed, then reinstalled the network parts of the operating system to get it to function right. So far, the biggest thing about ME I don't like is that I haven't got a full-screen MSDOS box available when I need it. It hasn't been a serious problem yet, as I have the other Pentiums and a 486 laptop around that I can use in a pinch.
