This Athlon 900 mhz and Toshiba 475 Mhz has everything except that dirty Performa that needs very special code to be different. It is not as dirty as that Zillion Pc(can't be betterd). Headache They have also something like this @ the university.

Just to keep everybody properly informed, XP and w2k can each do both. Way back since NT 3.51 you have had the option to automatically reboot when the system crashed. You don't get the BSOD but you can check the logs if you want to know what happened.

What different in XP is that this behavior (rebooting after a crash) is now the default.

As for why they should buy a Mac, I think the new iMac is a great reason to switch to the Apple world. It's fast, cheap, stable, functional, attractive, and fun. PCs are fast, functional, and cheap but neither fun nor attractive.
