Off Topic,

I'm running the 2nd Beta of WindowsXP and it functions pretty well for me. I think they improved the TCP/IP stack because I am consistently getting faster download times with XP vs. Win98 and Win2000. The new interface is a bit cartoonish, but I am getting used to it. I can see how it would be more friendly for people not totally into computers. I think there will be an upgrade cycle with XP, which hasn't occurred for awhile. I see Microsoft did well anyway in their last report. There was a rumor that XP will slip from August to October, but it looks pretty solid right now, except for some functionality here and there. IE 6.0 seems really fast.

Bob
