Re: Ha. Low end ethernet routers

Hello Jim,

Joerg,  What version of Windows are you using?


NT4 on this PC (rarely ever freezes), Win2k on the office machine (freezes on occasion), XP in the lab (freezes a lot). Somehow I see the trend going in the wrong direction here.

To add insult to injury the NT4 PC has never ever frozen up when booted into DOS.

I had to wrestle with the sales folks a little to get my office computer with Win2k and not XP. Had to pay an extra $100 or so but in hindsight I am glad I spent that money. The lab computer couldn't be delivered with 2k anymore since some of its HW would be incompatible, they said.

The downside is that some of the 'new and improved' software such as compilers won't run on anything but XP.

Regards, Joerg
