Re: I am back (edit: not yet, but hopefully soon...)
Hi,
here is an update on my computer problems.
bad news: my computer has (almost) died. I can get it (barely) running form time to time, but not enough to play SE4.
good news: most likely I can salvage the files. So none of the latest developments is lost and neither are my e-mails.
I have ordered parts for a new machine. The new computer could be up and running by the end of this week or the begin of next.
to my PBW hosts: don't wait on me. I have delayed the games too long already. Especially the KOTH game. Geo, please give the win to Pablo.
cya later,
Rollo
PS: question for the computer geeks: I have the option to either install Win 2000 or XP. Any recommendations?

Sorry, to hear about your PC. 
Chose W2k, I used it for over 2 years now and never had any real trouble. The advantage to XP IMHO is that you have more control over the system. XP tries to keep you away from its guts but a bit to much for my likeing.

Re: I am back (edit: not yet, but hopefully soon...)
I recently bought XP and have been quite happy with it. It's still an M$ product, but it's much more reliable than what I'd grown accustomed to under Windoze 98 SE. I haven't had to reboot except when installing software.
I don't know anything about Win 2000, so I can't compare them.

I would say Win 2000 as well.
If you do get XP though, get XP Pro. It is ALOT better then XP Home edition.
