Sorry my intention was not to offend NT Users, more my complaint was that
shelling out a lot of money for an upgrade is not a good thing, particularly
since the upgrade is going to be built on to a questionably stable O/S like
'98. I would say however that NT and '98 do have there differences and at
the end of the day it comes down to what the User intends to use the O/S
for. Further - as stable as NT is, for the average User it may be difficult
to come to terms with the less intelligent O/S when trying to configure
peripherals. There was never any claim on my part that the luxury of a
non-crashing O/S should only be enjoyed by business folk.

You're comments are appreciated and I respect your point of view.

Regards Roger Griffiths.
