I should have mentioned that I also buy ultraconservatively. I.E. I never buy the newest, latest and greatest motherboard, no matter how funky it looks. Instead I wait for at least six months or even longer until you can tell about potential hardware problems via internet and computer mag reviews) and you usually get a decent firmware revision. In short: After a while, you feel more like a customer rather than like an unpaid Beta-Tester. Imho this is much better than living on the fast lane and: Prizes tend to be lower, as well. > One solution to the "what kind of os are you using" is to always tell them XP > or the latest windows.

I do not like this approach since doing so, people will never know about that other OS, but at least it is quick and it works everytime! regards Eberhard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
