$3000 for PC, you got to be kidding.: I don't know where you shop but you need to find another OEM. Are the specs for Longhorn higher? Of course they are. One would be a fool for developing an OS for the 486 today, it would be just as foolish to develop an OS to today's hardware specs when we KNOW where it will be in a year.; Posted by: No_Ax_to_Grind Posted on: 05/07/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
