    I'm not sure; my contact, the office manager, has a stack of these 
machines along one wall; he saves them for customers that are open to 
using Linux.

    Yeah, see? How dumb would that be?  But I think it was a matter of a 
machine that would work fine on Win95/98/Me/2K, but not XP. These aren't 
new machines, more like those left behind.  Most of them had been 
running Windows (of some kind) for a long time, and from vendors that 
were well known.

    Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I thought it was only SCO that had 
to be certified to run on certain hardware. (Man, what a waste of time!)
