Two wonderful OS's are free for the asking. WIN 98 Beta 3 (build 1650) and Linux (I prefer Red Hat 5.0) Win98 is the Win98 that was going to be released and sold, until they decided to add win 3.11 upgradability to it. Win98 Beta 3 is a very good implementation. It is like Win 95 (with everything fixed) with IE 4.0 installed. It has an NT kernel. And something about it tells reminds me of how the ATM engines work. I personally think MSFT is putting ATM native into everything. I have it running on a couple of machines, and even one belonging to a salesman. Red Hat Linux is incredible. Anything you would want to do, or could do is included - except for an integrated graphical environment like Office 95/97. That's an extra 50 bucks. Netscape works on it, and the OS has really become stable enough to start putting into Corporate America. Heck, I'd bet you $50 bucks your ISP uses Linux boxes for a variety of services. Jack
