Thanks for that info, Tony. The Athlon 3800+ in that
box -- what P4 would that be equivalent to ?

Was there some particular reason, other than
experimental, that you decided to go with Redmond's
latest ? Personally, I don't see where plain old XP
Pro has much to offer over W2K Pro, and a lot of the
UI is much worse unless you "retro" it with some
tweaks.

That was another good and informative demo. I'm still
pondering what you covered re DFSEE and getting around
the 1.2R installer partitioning roadblocks . . . and
hoping I can translate that into some better results.
