I justed wanted people to know that bb4win is very nice, very nice indeed. I had to switch to windows temporarily to use my wireless because I couldn't get it to work in linux. I normally use fluxbox, a derivative of Black box, and using bb4win makes using windows almost as nice as using linux. It has a very low overhead and is incredibly easy to install. I suggest you try it.

IT uses less memory and is a different enviroment. I like it because I am used to the blackbox enviroment. It is totally a matter of personal preference.

My computer is running at 120 megs. It normally runs at 200 with explorer.

Interesting. Do you have other apps running? DX, WB, etc?

Windowblinds. I am counting the megs with nothing running but the basics: antivirus, printer driver, networking (wireless takes a little ram), and windowblinds.
