Hello Paul - 

--8<--cut 

PW> Never had a problem w/ any thing like that here. The
PW> dependance on lfn's alone is enough to ruin a virus/worm's
PW> day on this box. And since it never gets on the net or uses
PW> email that allows 

I've had the luxury of ignoring most worms and virus because of
the lack of W9x and long filenames. Probably a negative
attribute in the long run. I would be needlessly careless using
a newer OS. :-\ 

PW>>> Good thing it's backed up on tapes as I couldn't recreate
PW>>> it if I tried. 

WC>> Sure you could. 

PW> No I couldn't. There's more to what I did than just
PW> installing a mess of dll's. Some dll's have to be modified
PW> just a tad and then there's all the changes in the registry. 

A hybrid setup such as yours, and mine, really needs to be kept
as a second system. When at work, a friend/relative's home, or
any location away from my keyboard I am frustrated by the lack
of my favorite modifications, the lack of response, and am
probably not being as cautious about what I do/don't do as I
need to be to keep a newer OS functioning.
