The only computer they guarantee this OS to work on is the IBM Aptivia 300 series. However I want a Dell. I have also heard many rumors of computer science majors buying big, expensive fancy computers only to find out that this OS doesn't run on them. I would like to know if you have any experience with this OS, and if it will run on a Dell. However, I need you to be sure about this as it will be part of the basis of my decision. If you know of problems or whatnot please tell me. Some people tell me that this is a fairly popular OS and that it rus on all x86 processors. However I need a definite answer right from the horse's mouth so to speak. Thanks for your time and cooperation Michael Lawless mlawless@bc.cybernex.net
