Therefore I figured my desktop should be XP as well. Win XP is more stable and secure than Win 9x. But I only had a few problems with Win 9x. Mainly I justified it to "future-proof" myself. Of course I think the security is still not as good as it should be (you practically *have* to run with administrator privilidges). I still find it easier to administer than Linux/*BSD systems. And I haven't quite got the cash for a Mac yet. -- "Actually, I'm sitting on my butt staring at a computer screen." - Tom Tomorrow j.
