About the OS: Some new hardware features are not supported by Win2k, sometimes to the point that it won't install. Case in point: Win2K does not install on an Acer Aspire 1700 portable. It needs XP to run. The newest CPUs (both Intel and AMD) also have a hardware feature to prevent some virus nastiness: the NX bit. WinXP SP2 supports this hardware feature, older Windows versions do not. I'd say go for an Athlon64 system, socket 939. Or maybe wait a few months and then go for an Athlon64 dual core system - those CPUs are due in September.

The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
