Hello omega-list,

  I'm not a computer tech guy--that said, here's what I've concluded
about several goals I have

1--get to Windows 2000

2--backup the two machines I use for trading.

        (both are 20 G HD, FAT32, 768 meg RAM, 433 and 500 mHz,win98
        SE)

Assumptions:

W2k is best with clean install on new HD.

HD's are cheaper than my time.

Plan:

buy two new 20 G HD's, 7200 rpm

install W2k on them w NTFS format resulting in a dual boot
arrangement.

use XactCopy by DuoCor to for backup utility.

at my own pace move files to W2k HD and use W98 HD for backup.

thanks for any comments or suggestions.
