Windows 2000 is my favorite: faster, less memory consumptive, and more stable, I think. Sadly, unless this machine will be off the net you will have to abandon Win2K I think this year, because MS will no longer be supporting it. At that point you'll have to move, or risk getting nailed. No amount of firewalling, etc will properly protect you. --STeve Andre' _______________________________________________ Thinkpad mailing list [email protected] http://stderr.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/thinkpad
