Michael, <<<Hmmm, the computer under my desk was originally running Win98 and Office 97. It was upgraded to NT 4.0. It was then upgraded to Win2K and Office 2K. I've tested it with WinXP and Office XP and it still performs flawlessly. It was not top of the line when I bought it, yet here we are, two releases along and it's still doing fine.>>>
I'll take your word for it that it is working fine, but it doesn't sound like your system is stressed by doing a lot of work. IMO, you have installed an eclectic array of software and trying to make a selffulfilling prophecy. Four years ago, you could have posted a similar type of opinion, but that system would not be working effectively in a real productive environment today.
Nevertheless, I am sure there are plenty of people who are plenty satisfied with their 4040, 8080, 8086, 80286, 80386, 80486, and Pentium and do not need an upgrade. So what?
<<<Education on the internet is nice, for some people and for some things. We've had mixed results with it. Some people don't learn well that way, and many topics are not easily conveyed on computers. In either case, most education packages run either in a browser or in another fairly simple client. How much CPU do you need to run one of those?>>>
My, my, I am impressed. You are so au courant, so ahead of the curve. Is that your final and definitive answer on "education on the Internet"?
