tc,

Thanks for the welcome. I made a living for the past fifteen years heading up an instrument design and development group. I'm retired now. Our first system used Concurrent CP/M. We then converted to Windows 3.1, later to Win/NT 3.51, then Win/NT 4.0, and now to Win 2000, All those years though I used my Macs for all software analysis and design documentation, all project management, and all customer documentation as well as most other admin tasks. Also, since the Macs have superior serial communications drivers (and RS-422 signalling), we had a 12 year old MAC SE that could continuously and concurrently monitor and log both the transmit and receive high speed RS-422 serial communications channels between our host (NT) and remote instrument (DOS). It was a life saver from time to time.

We had a running joke at work -- it almost always takes two guys with Masters degrees in CS about three days to get a Windows NT system working correctly. :o)
