Gus- Since you seem to work with the nuts and bolts of this stuff daily, perhaps you can enlighten me. I figure that it's getting time to bite the bullet and install NT as to be ready for the next generation of graphics s/w coming down the pipe. My question is do I want to install NT Server or Workstation? I've got a Lantastic network that I'm pleased with, and I'm the only person working on my 3 node net, so I doesn't get a ton of traffic. However, I'm curious as to whether some of the new apps. (read 3DS) will be tailored to specifically take advantage of NT's networking capabilities. My second question is this. I've found an old copy (3.1) of NT Server for sale and a good price. However, the only upgrades to 3.5 I've seen are for workstation. Egghead said they weren't aware of a server upgrade. Does one exist? or can I upgrade with the 3.5 workstation upgrade and be OK? Thanks for your insight, I've failed to keep up with the inner workings of these new OS's. It's all I can do to keep Dos/Windows going!<g> -Mark
