My experience with W2K hasn't been all that pleasant. Right, it doesn't crash the way previous versions have done. But I have had W2K do some things -- i.e.: not letting me uninstall something; telling me that a valid filename which used to work fine now "<Filename> is not a valid 32-bit name'; refusing to recognize my modem; dropping my scanners; and a few other very weird things -- which are leaving me completely frustrated with W2K.
Right now I am back on Windows 95, "warts and all", so that I can get something done, and am having a technician come in Tuesday to find out just what had "gone south" with my W2K computer, which, at the moment, is an $1,800 doorstop. I'm almost ready to completely switch to a Mac, and use an emulator there to run R:Base. Dick Croy Myron Finegold wrote: > > Dennis, > Win2K or XP Pro would be the way to go. They don't crash.
