Hey guess what -- my Win2k desktop lasted *THREE YEARS* until some dratted winmodem driver broke it. :P It's not as pretty as XP though. But it works fine. As I was telling a Windows-centric acquiantance of mine -- Wilson Chua, actually.. :P for most competent people it's not an either-or, Linux or Windows. I could work on Windows very well (heck, I have the useless certification). But I work in a UNIX environment, and I am MOST productive there, and I like the freedom. But given an unlimited budget (or unlimited MSDN..) anything is possible. And Windows is really better at some things. --- Orlando Andico <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mosaic Communications, Inc. -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
