Very nice. Yes, computers, and CC have really changed. CPU's are moving into 64 bits and dual-core, while OS's haven't all caught up with that. Of course, the vendor is happy to sell you something that will be obsolete almost before you get it in your hands. Get's old stuff off his shelves, but how can you use a 64 bit cpu if the OS you buy is never going to be more than 32 bit? With the larger 6 man EGTB's, and continued "patches", and such, the buyers needs to be more aware than at any previous time, and consider carefully. Of course, in a year or two, it will all be middle of the road hardware (at best), anyway, but that's a problem you have to just smile about and be glad we live when we do. Dave
