Molded Keytops (slightly OT again)

I hear a lot about how stable an OS XP is but WIN 98 has been for me =
very stable. FWIW, crashes can and will happen with any OS. WIN 98 is =
also a lot less intrusive than XP. Besides, my current hardware works =
well with 98 SE but the ISIS audio card I use for my music production =
will not work with XP as the ISIS chipset is incompatible with it...

I will probably eventually go to XP, most likely after there is another =
update to it and I can afford another audio card with the capabilities I =
currently have with the ISIS...but I can also bet you that by then there =
will be an even newer, "better" OS offered by MS...   : )

Best,
Greg Torres

  I have XP, which is based on WIN 2000. I got it last Nov, and have =
only had to shut down once. It is really stable for me.
  I did upgrade at the time, so it was a clean load.
  Previously on WIN98, I was always rebooting, and frequently, clearing =
the drive and reinstalling.
  I am glad I changed.

    Greg,
            Ain't computers fun! FWIW I have found Win 2000 to be much =
more stable than either Win98 of Win ME. If your machine will handle the =
requirements I highly recommend it.

      Fortunately, the only thing that totally crashed was just the OS =
(Win 98)...and all my data is still on the drive. But I now have to =
re-install all the applications again as well as all the device =
drivers...(sigh)...
      =20
      Anyway, my posts should now show my full name since I corrected =
the E-mail settings...

        Greg,=20
                No offense taken but I did want to clarify as these =
posts are saved for posterity you know. I like to double the effort by =
typing my name each time but if you included the mailto: signature to go =
out with every email that would certainly take away any chance of =
forgetting.=20
                I'm sorry to hear of your hard drive crash. I've never =
had that happen yet but I have had system failures before. Not a very =
pleasant thing! I hope your able to recover all the important stuff =
anyway.


        regards,


        Greg Newell


        P.S. I hope to meet you in Chicago.
