At home I have a 90 Mhz Pentium (2.5 years old) running Win95. At work I have a 133 MHz Pentium (6 Months old) running windows NT. Both are very slow when you run big applications. At home I run PhotoSoap which I use to scan in, crop and enhance the pictures I scan into my family tree. PhotoSoap is written for MMX and runs pretty slow on my machine, although it does a lot and it does it well. At work I have some pretty big Microsoft Project files and that too runs annoyingly slow on updates. After you change one task it takes a while for the changes to ripple through the entire schedule. Runs annoyingly slow. The real need for speed indicates that at a minimum a 266 MHz PII is the correct machine for business and maybe a faster one at home. That's the way the world is today. The next generation of software will do more and require even higher speeds. Can I get by with what I have. Yup. Do I like it. No. Will I be getting a new machine pretty soon at home. Yup. Burt
