hmmm... interesting.

Oh well -- at some point you just gotta bite the bullet -- otherwise you'd never
buy any new equipment. I'm working off a laptop at the moment and my
productivity is suffering. I ordered the Athlon system yesterday.

I guess a single Celery system would have been more sensible. But I'm really
hoping I can avoid dual booting by running NT with VMware -- and to do that I
hear you need a lot of grunt.
