Win 2K and XP DO support at least some DOS aps. With Xy, there are
problems of jerky keyboard response on SOME (not all) W2K and XP
systems. Not that I would discourage anyone from dumping Redmond
Rubbish, but let's keep the record straight. And do consider upgrading
to Xy 4, which offers many useful improvements over III.

 I am now considering switching from a PC to

See Michael Norman's post (on the Xy Archives) of Dec. 9 2006 on the
display. He found Mac displays lacking. So look at them in stores,
don't just order from the Web or mail. Screens are a very personal
thing, and only your eyes can say what you're going to find acceptable
or not.
