Hello Tom - 

CA>> Never say "never". :-) 

CA>> Keep in mind that 'Vistas' (Longhorn) has some extreme
CA>> minimum hardware requirements that will put quite a few
CA>> existing systems into the used market one day soon when
CA>> those who must live on the "bleeding edge" scramble to buy
CA>> newer more expensive equipment. :-) 

TW> I will go LINUX or Apple OS before I go "Vista"(longhorn). 

I'm planning to go with LINUX myself if/when the need arises. 

TW> But I don't forsee me needing much beyond Win98. 

Somewhat the same here with W2K. I'm comfortable doing what I
do now and not expecting that to change any time soon. 

TW> I am not interested i nVideo Manupliation at all. 

I'm interested in computer video but not compelled to do
anything about it at this time. 

TW> And pther then collecting an assortment of nice computer
TW> pictures form various sources gave up Photography maqny,
TW> many years ago. In fact to let you know howlong ago it was
TW> my Main Camera was a CANON FT model ,stil hidden away i
TW> nthe back of a closet. Plus I have a Miniature Speed
TW> Graphic tucked away somewhere. 

I've not taken any film in many years now. All but one of my
children (6) have digital cameras and can feed me all the
graphics I have time to see. LOL 

TW> I also am Not into Computer Games of any type. 

I have my children's older PS1 and play "Command and Conquer
Red Alert" with my army against 3 other armies but I always
win. It's been years now since I played that. I normally just
watch when my kids or grandkids play video games. 

TW> SO what is newer hardware going to get me?? 

Bragging rights? :-) 

CA>>> The wonder system of today will be the garage sale
CA>>> special of tomorrow. 

TW> I took good advantage of that when I was donating
TW> computers. Picked up about a dozen NICE 350/450 Mhz Systems 

When VISTAS is out in full force the 'needy' will take the
plunge and there will be 2Ghz machines at garage sales for
cheap. :-)
