I was just using a "new" value as an example, also adding about 50% extra machine capability as these were only 'minimum system requirements' I'm really not interested in Vista anyhow.
I'm still happy with 98SE, although that's all to change over the next week or so, I've got 3 machines all ready to be networked and running XP pro to scatter around my flat, thanks for the offer anyway :o)
