I downloaded and burned the ISOs and tested it on two machines as well without problems. However,I am, as I am sure you understand, a bit cautions about sending them to press with people saying they are having problems. I tested them on a Pentium 133 and a Dual Athlon 1500+. Maybe it's a problem on older machines? Anyone else run into anything? -Chris On Mon, 14 Oct 2002, Brian J.
