WindowsME & datafeedsYou might try the Windows
2000 Professional It is the workstation productthat took windows
NT. What is nice is that it is robust like NT was, and ithas Plug
and Play features of Windows 98, thus you could have an easier
timeinstalling than the old NT. You have to go to the MS website and look
at theHardware compatability tables and see how your existing machine
stacks up.Don----- Original Message -----From: "Howard
