Hello Robert -

No, to be honest I never thought about that.

RF> Despite your infatuation with W2K, that could prove to be a

I'm not likely to be buying a new computer any time soon. I
have four computers and they do all that I ask of them. It's
been some _years_ now and I've not been unable to do what I
wish to do nor unable to add new software. 

From the reviews I've read so far VISTAS won't offer me
anything I would actually put to use. 

I appreciate the 'heads up' on the upgrades though. I would've
never even thought of that.
