i only wish i could agree with that steve, but as iv said before on here, MOST of my customers are LEGACY systems (fortunately, i do not have any 8088s left), and i cant just tell them that they have to throw out everything that they have invested in for the sole purpose of haveing the latest and greatest! especially when most(if not all) of what they have is working just fine!
