Mr. Burcham, I got Windows 2000 with an option to upgrade to Windows XP. I bought it in custom configuration(not a package deal) from http://www.buy-atlas.com and I got it with Sun Micro StarOffice 5.2. I know that you are pleased. I do not recommend that others do the same, since buying from streamlined jobbers like Atlas microsystems is frustrating when something goes wrong. They do seem to know more than stores like "Best Buy" who like to hire dumb highschool kids as sales reps. Tim Frohlick On September 07, 2001 at 12:27:10, K.
