The system booted in 10 minutes or so. Our main server is a 90 MHZ Pentium running Windows NT 4.0 Server. (It's fast enough, as it only has to manage a dozen user accounts and less than 100 e-mail messages per day.) It takes about 90 seconds to boot; it's faster than our Windows 95 test machine (which is a 250 MHZ machine). The "bad old days" were not really *that* bad. :-) Randy.
