> I'm running XP Professional, build 2600. It's
a lot better, gaming-wise, than Win2K. It's
pretty stable, and I haven't gotten any BSODs,
except when I'm running lame Radeon drivers
(read as "any Radeon drivers"). All my games
seem to run fine. My brother plays TFC and
Empire Earth under XP all the time. In fact, the
only thing that doesn't seem to work perfectly
is the DOS emulation. It'll run DOS programs,
but there isn't any sound. Meaning I can't play
Loom. Suck.

You're still playing Loom? I remember playing
Loom when I was in high school, eons ago.
Loom, the game that came on six 3.5 floppies,
IIRC. Ah, those were the days.

would be worth it to upgrade to XP, or sooner
or later you'll be working on something really
important and your screen will turn that lovely
shade of blue that means you've just lost what
you have been working on for three hours.

I never work on anything for three hours
without saving it. In fact, I've gotten into the very
good habit of saving my work every five
minutes at least, and generally more like every
30 seconds or so. Thank heavens for
Control-S. (Or Command-S if you're on a Mac,
which I am at the moment.)
