Easy Thom, as much as we like to dump on Dan, it was _me_ griping
about Apple ROMs.

Um. No. No no no. NT 4.0 is a bootable CDs. Presumably 5.0
will be too. It's a BIOS thang. If the BIOS of your motherboard
and/or SCSI/IDE controller supports it (and nearly every PC in the
past couple of years does), you can boot from the NT CD.

Yeeesh, and you're admonishing _Dan_ for not doing research?

(Hey, i've griped about non-bootable CDs for Windows for ages, but my
friend finally set me straight. PCs are _finally_ coming around on
this...)

Ditto. Thanks guys, for keeping it lively. >:}
