Ton:
Thanks for this posting. You have clarified an important issue for me.
You are saying that I upgrade to Win2000 to get better perfromance, that
simply getting more RAM wont help.
I used to be involved with standards and products liability. A litigant
could win/lose a case if the product met or did not meet recognized
industrial standards and performed under normal and expected use. For
software I guess the standard should be that it performs its expected
function in a reasonable and efficient way, with no or very few bugs.
There are programs that will convert MAC and PC programs, we need one that
will convert PC to Linnux programs.
Warm regards
Lionel Issen
