Regardless of popular opinion, Windows 2000 and Windows XP are both upgrades to Windows NT, not Windows 98. I can tolerate 2000 but I detest XP. I think 98 is currently the very best Windows operating system and I think DELL made a mistake by not offering it as an option in their online...

CON is a special file and always has been. So are LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, and AUX. At some point in the remote past, CON stood for CONSOLE and you could write to the CONSOLE (monitor) by sending data to CON. I've never actually send anyting to CON but I frequently check...
