Unfortunately the OS has to go. I'm still on Win2K, it's reliable, and
blazingly fast on the hardware I have. Unfortunately no one seems to be
willing to supports it. HP supported Win 98 until just a couple of
years ago, they dropped Win2k within just a few months after that. All
the software I'm going to need wants XP or better. I'm actually
thinking of building/configuring two new machines, an XP machine with
twice the speed and twice current memory of the one I'm currently using
and a headless Linux box to act as a file server, (that can be a bit
slower than what I'm using now and still have superior throughput). I
can still do most of my personal software development work on my current
machine, it might be better to that way.

Arrived today, free shipping from NY
to CT is a two day process, faster than any of the
guaranteed three day+ methods. Battery is charging,
looking forward to a day of testing functions tomorrow,
(damn the manual is a brick). I also ordered a 0-ME53
eyecup/loup and I've been playing with it on the
*ist-Ds. I've decided that it's the must have
accessory for any Pentax DSLR. Now I have a bunch of
computer upgrades that I'm going to have to do...
