Hi John,

Sadly that does not concur with my experience of NT, which does
outlast Win9x in the stay-alive stakes by a factor of 5-10 times. I
can't vouch for Win2k but the M$ track record does not bode well for
it. I could give a history lesson of the genesis of WNT (VMS+1) and
how many bugs were added with each version but won't bore the members.
(The above is very much the tongue-in-cheek of a die hard cynic and
should not necessarily be taken as any kind of professional opinion).

Interesting. I run a 3200 myself as my main workstation - but need 9x
on it to run my music studio software and maintain compatibility with
my clients' workstations.
