Hello Everyone,

My brother recently left the military (downsizing) and went to
Micso$oft certification school for Win9x and WinNT.  Anyway,
imagine my surprise (or maybe it was shock) when he told me
that my new laptop was obsolete!  I'm not kidding.  He said
they told him that anything less than a Pentium II is history.
He said they are recommending a Pentium 233 with 64 megs of
ram to run Win9x/NT!  Also my PCMCIA 28.8 modem is obsolete,
as is anything less than 56.6!

E GAD, I don't think M$ will be happy until *everyone* is
runnung a server class machine.  We had a good laugh though,
and I told him my little laptop does a hell of a job for
something that's obsolete ;)
