Sorry, to me (sole IT provider for a nonprofit organization) a 5 year
old computer running winXP is next years technology. MS-DOS 6.2(2) /
Windows 3.1(1) would have been about as far as I can stand having to
listen on a "classic" mailing list / forum / usenet group, and even
that's pushing it to some extent.

I agree that perhaps we're a bit overzealous here at times, but there
-are- more appropriate forums for this sort of inquiry. Hopefully no
one's feathers get permanently bent out of joint, either by this
thread or by the metaphor cocktail I just created.
