>Bullet Proof…. It is fantastic alright. My problems stem from two unusual circumstances. 1) I have a mother board with TWO built in IDE controllers,. I had 3 IDE drives on the system. NT has a bit of a problem with that. The problem is documented but the solution is not. It wasn't that big of a deal, just a bit of a time consuming P.I.T.A. . I knew what I had to do to get NT up and running, so I did it. The fact that I temporarily lost the use a drive is not really bothering me. (and now that I installed the "Service Pack 2" It should be fixed.(at least according to the microsoft "Escalation Engineer" that I spoke to on the WinNT forum.)) 2) My CD-ROM is a piece of crap. I didn't really expect to find an Aztech variant of a Compudyne marketed Mitsumi drive. on the installed driver list. I tried the standard Mitsumi driver, but no luck, oh well… It's a good excuse to get a new 6 speed drive. As far as everything else goes, I think NT is the greatest OpSys I've ever worked on. Period. I love the way it feels, And Last night I played with the NT version of Photoshop for the first time… all I can say is WOW!!!!!! It is amazing! G-Blurs on 640 x 480 in almost real time! The preview function is almost not needed. I didn't want to give anybody the impression that I was mad at NT or upset that I'd gotten it. I just want people on this forum to know what to expect. We must all remenber that this entire forum will be using NT within a year or so. It will be of prime importance to everyone here to have a database of NT information from the point of view of the 3DS user. The sooner we start sharing problems,solutions,tips,tricks,and war stories, the better off all of us will be in the long (and short) run. Signed A very happy, slightly war ravaged, new NT lover.
