Interesting post tilstad :-) This TP600 has 128 Megs of RAM, which I thought was the maximum but it seems it can possibly take more. That's a fair point about DOS from a floppy, although for me it has to be a CD, as I don't have the slot-in floppy. In fact that's how I got Me on it in the first place, by having a DOS boot CD. A friend regularly uses "Ghost" so I thought that may be a good alternative to System Restore as the size is relatively small, so can be backed up to a DVD RW. I put "Tiny Personal Firewall" on it (not that tiny actually) then disabled it, went to Steve Gibson's Shields Up site, & it said it couldn't identify the OS & it passed his tests :-) I only use a pc normally for a particular task associated with a pci card that only has win drivers, so am not an expert user. For several years I've used Mac OS X daily. I'm used to web browsing with > 20 tabs open at a session, & many other programs running, so it's interesting to see Me in action. Like you I've only used this TP recently, but I've deliberately used Opera with about 15 to 20 tabs open, & apart from slowing down a bit, no crashes. My ghost-using friend's son had Me on his pc until recently, & only changed to xp as he couldn't get a driver for his new TV card. They both think Me is fine. It is hard to understand why it got such a bad press. Maybe there's problems ahead for us ;-) Thanks for the margi card tip. Next to find out if my pc is Zoom Video capable. Although this is intended for "light", occasional use, as I'm not a regular pc user I've been looking for utilities to speed up folder access, particularly in load & save dialogue boxes, launching app's etc., so the program menu is on its second page now, & it's being stress tested :-) I've tried "Xfilesdialog" & "Fastfolders", & am still looking. "GOMplayer" seems a pretty good media player, & Xnview for pic's. Firewire on Me seems pretty reliable too. I'll try the f/w networking soon. I've done a few tests with 98se on a newish intel based mobo, & although it mostly works, it feels a bit fragile compared with Me, so I think I'll stick with Me. I generally agree with your other observations. It's not clear to me that 98se has major advantages over Me.
