Hey Andreas,

        Lighten up man.  Is Bill Gates your long lost uncle or something?  Do
you love the guy or what?  We are just sharing information here.  You don't have
to agree with it but (and especially) when it is "off topic" we tend to get
along.

        It is a well agreed upon opinion that any person should stay away from
the version one of any of Microsofts products.  Hell, I use NT version "umpteen
million" and still have problems.  Are you allergic to fruit or something?
