I got the internet up and running last night, so I should be able to download all of those patches and upgrades that are around.
It seems to be running alright at the moment, and it has had less errors than this beast (running 98), but it is early days yet.
I also managed to setup a network between the computers, which is always handy.
Thanx everyone for all of their replies, its really handy to know what everyone thinks, so as I can expect the worst, if it is to come.
