Jack,
Ray says that the dual boot mechanism is included with the NT
installation stuff. No doubt I'll give installation a try, fairly soon, but
the operating system project is really Ray's. Generally, I install our
software and he uses it, but I haven't been particularly curious about UNIX,
GNU, OS/2, and the like.
I have installed DOS upgrades, without incident, but those were
commercial releases with the major bugs out. And I've gotten along fine with
Windows 3.1 (again, fairly stable). But the NT beta makes me a little
nervous. I just looked at the boot disk, and the drivers aren't apparent
from the directory–but I'm sure you knew that already.
Mainly, I like to investigate the things that you can make
a computer actually _do_, which is why I'm fascinated with the hardware
improvements. (I'm still proud of the fact that I used to be able to run and
service a small multilith printing press.)
