Boot up times arent a problem, I tun it on on the morning and then make a
cofee while thats happening anyway!

And while Im on the subject - you can turn off that buggy firewall in it

Personally I would prefer to use my copy of 2k, but the 'wife' cant use it
very well, and XP may be a bit easier for her :)

| My partner is happly running XP Pro on a Dell Laptop, it's a Pentium III
