Until a few months ago, we had a measurement system in production that was still running Win 3.x. It had some custom interface card and software, the origin of which had been lost in the mists of time. Card was ISA; system didn't work under anything newer than 3.x. Years ago I saw what was coming and started squirreling away spare parts for that system, as we retried old computers. It got to the point where I had literally replaced every single part (mobo, PSU, VGA, HDD) at least once due to failures. Then a few months ago the interface board died. I can't say I was sad. (We're now running a new system with new software and COTS hardware.) -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
