I personally prefer windows 98 (if using windows) because XP has many changes that should just not have been made. Although XP is a little more stable in some cases (I managed to make it blue screen 5 times on friday night, the first time I'd managed to do it in 3 months). If you're planning on using Novell on your network (not likely if it is a home network) then stay very far away from XP until they fix their driver issue. Unfortunately there are a small number of things I cannot stand about it, but then there are some added features that are pretty good, like the ability to hide icons in your system tray (a great feature if you're not supposed to be using ICQ at work ;)). Another thing I like is XP's start menu, you have the option to set it to store your most recent/popular programs, so they are 2 clicks away (Start - Then program) instead of several clicks. I guess it is personal preference... see if you can go into a PC shop, and play about with it for a bit, and see what you think of it. Took me about 3 weeks to get used to where they'd moved everything, and some 'features' I'm still trying to get used to. -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ________________________________________________________ Current Ver: 1.61 FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/
