Michael, can you send me a list of the hardware you are using that works ok.  I
have NT on one of my machines at work and I find it much more stable.  I am
seriously considering it for my automation when I upgrade in a month or two. 
Any special considerations that I should know for setting up ECS on it.  I think
I can live with the unaligned columns for the benefits of NT.  How is the text
to speech and the voices and things.  Are you doing VR?  

Thanks for the info
Dan
