Does this sound doable? Can you think of anything to add?

Thanks

Sounds good. I loved Partition Magic on my old Win98 system. Could resize
and or create partitions anytime. Never hurt the data at all. Did it many
times and my Simulator Partition grew.

On my new XP machine I didn't need it...I formatted from new HD...created
partitions from XP. Easy. And I think you'd be very surprised by XP. All my
pro-linux buddies that used to bad mouth it to death before trying it,
actually now like it very much. There are great benefits with both OS's.

Other 2 that are great...the Sony's and Dell's. And if you sign up at Dell
through their Business Site, they send discount emails once a week. Some
great deals, coupons, and often no tax or shipping.

Also don't know about Linux, but the USB modems are faster than through
rs232. Hard to find non-win modems though these days.

John, do you happen to know if the modem in the Tosh 1800 S207 or S274 is a 
Hayes hardware modem or a win modem bit banger? Is there bit banging software
for Linux compatible with a win modem?
