Ok, so I got enough ram. I wonder about the cpu, though. And the 
graphics card, on W2k or FC4 it barely shows one DVD at a time smoothly.

But, it's cool, sure. Still, I wonder if anybody over 30 finds it useful 
at work.

Then again, to show off faster development and unbelievably better 
results than M$, this works well! Heh, this is not a kick in their knee, 
it's a kick 18" higher! :-)

PS, W2000 will stay the last one from M$ in my office, with any help 
from Bob!
