This is what I heard and is why I have chosen (so far) to stay with the
KNOWN evil rather than jump to a new one. As much as I love technology,
something inside me as afraid to give up the command prompt ability! lol
Win2K though? I can recall fleeting moments when the word went through my
head and I promptly discarded the idea. I can;t think of any good reason
than to say that I just haven;t read that much about it. Maybe I was
thinking you could only use it to upgrade NT. If I remember correctly, it
was available in 3 or 4 versions... Professional, server, advanced server,
and maybe something else. Which one are you running?
