Lisa... most monitors are pretty good. I'm using a DiGi view which is actually a Diamondtron Mitsubishi. You do want a finer dot pitch, .25 is good. That's how fine a point of luminesence your getting. On big monitors 21" and more, .26 or .27 is good also because you're sitting back farther from the screen. On a 17" get .25. Make sure your monitor is emission compliant to the best specs. Get 4 meg video or better, that's avoids page default errors. Win NT 4.0 is more difficult to work with in some respects but its more stable and when a program crashes its less likely to pull the system down with it compared to Win 95. A Jaz drive holds 1.1 or so gigabytes... about 760 of your 1.44 disks A Zip drive holds about one tenth of a Jaz drive and has a slower mechanism and data transfer rate, yet they are less expensive and more common. I got an external, because I can take it with me traveling and plug in to another computer with my own data... have done that many times with my Jaz drive (which works with both PC and Macintosh) using separate disks. Voice capability... ask the dealer, they have different ways of doing it and its fun but NOT essential. Sound is another story... and perhaps you'll want to get a built in TV tuner card so you can plug in your cable and watch CNBC in a window on your computer screen. For the work you're doing (I assume you're not doing pre-press photoshop and Quark or running your computer as a local server in your home), memory shouldn't matter, 64megs is more than enough. Some is faster and better, but at the speeds you're talking about with new processors its a moot point. Get good power protection which smoothes spikes and clamps fast... one that also plugs in your telephone wire with protection... I lost a computer that was unplugged, lightning came in through the telephone line/modem stong enough to fry the main board.
