What broad assumptions are you talking about? Joe uses Windows 98 and I use Windows 95 on my machine. I informed him of my experience - no assumptions, just fact. I run NS 4.75, NS 6.2, Moz 0.95, IE 5.5 and Opera 5.12 all at the same time, all on my lowly Pentium 166 MMX with 64 MB of RAM and I have no problems with any conflicts - full default installs. If you're interested in speed, it's not too bad at all for me. Gus
