    if you can don't migrate to 2000 its total rubbish
    but there is no reason why the win bs2 editor should play up with 2000

    I beg to differ. I have three machines, one with Win95, one with Win98, and
    one with Win2000. The one with 95 has to be rebooted at least twice a day
    because of memory leaks. The one with 98 is cold booted every morning to
    keep from dying of memory leaks. The W2K machine has been up since for
    nearly 60 days now without a bit of a problem. And yes I run pretty much
    the same software on all of them (MS Office etc.) except the W2K machine
    also runs AutoCAD 2000

    I have Win 2000, 98, WFW 3.11, NT 4.0 and 2 Linux boxes on my home network.
    If it wasn't for the specialized machine controller software on the Linux
    boxes they would be out the door in a flash. Give me the Win 2000 system
    anytime of the week.

    Obviously will hasn't found /usr/dict/words yet.

    Please keep the linux/windows discussion off the stamp list. We have
    enough advocacy issues with stamp/pic.
