Hello Jean - 

CA>> With unlimited amounts of money and time I guess "who
CA>> cares" is the proper response. If you have one shot at
CA>> this and no bankroll to replace your mistakes it becomes
CA>> important to know what the hardware _really_ can do.

JP> I was lucky in life and could buy the best system but I do
JP> not want to. 

I was trying to explain that you would have a difficult time
trying to determine what "the best" system was. You could be
richer than Bill Gates and still not get "the best" because few
really know what anything is anymore. 

JP> A little challenge is fun and then after the C= 128 even a
JP> 286 is a fast performer. When my P233 MMX died, I got the
JP> slowest system that I could then get, 

I used an 8mhz XT for 15 years. The 'magic' is in the operator,
not the hardware. 

JP> this VIA 800 and it is fast enough for me. Most all is
JP> "on-board" and I still get some interference ( conflict ? )
JP> on the mouse but since I reloaded W2K, it seems to have
JP> mostly gone. 

That would describe W2K, 'mostly' working most of the time. 

JP> Yesterday, I used my -standby- BW folder and did not notice
JP> that there was a .rep packet still in it and I ended up
JP> U/Ling posts from Jan 06. Yeark, I hate that. Sorry to all.
JP> I normally run BW and Zoc from a Flash Card as I do now. 

I can fit my OLR and editor onto one floppy disk. I don't need
a flash card for that.
