Well, not yet. I don't know that much about your plans for the future

See email. One I'll mention right now is comp.risks.

Ouch.
I mean, yes, nice machine, but $5.6k? In US prices, even. That would
be around $7k if I wanted to buy it here... and it's only got a Mobile
266? And only 128M? :=)

The tosh had it separate, and since the CD burned out, I've used it
more than before. I reinstalled win95 from floppies, thrice.

Hmm. Good. I'll have to evaluate win2k sometime next century.

$Free or OpenSores free?
BTW, BO2K claims to be able to run over an ssh tunnel. With another
layer of encryption on top.
I've been looking at it (it doesn't seem to be able to connect to
localhost, so I first need to get that laptop on the network to truly
evaluate), and mostly it seems like BO2k has the complexity of CLI
without the advantages. At least it's open-source.
