Aw, gee, its a tough one this.  Can put up with NT's annoying need to
reboot after changeing IP settings etc or some of these screen
resolution issues in return for Excel and Word and VC++ and VJ++ and
Access and a decent choice of web browsers and Purify that I can afford?

Hmm, yup, its a tough one.

Do you REALLY think that's such a big deal?
