Thanks for the advice, guys.
Marcus -- I can't use Linux or one of the other systems. A) The school doesn't support them. B) My brain doesn't support them. {g} Maybe someday...

And thanks for that breakdown of things, Paul.
Haven't ordered yet, but it looks like more work for my credit card is coming soon. :-)
