ya know...i'd be willin to bet that this particular vendor has/had a previous arangement to sell MS loaded desktops and was looking to make some new customers by giving away systems to schools for future contacts. if they ahd such an agreement with MS then the big turd would be fully within their rights to insist that the "not" do this. I can't see any other way this would be possible. -- daRcmaTTeR --------------------------------------------------------------------- If at first you don't succeed do what your wife told you to do the first time!
