Actually cryptography will die when the person before the last person dies. Only if you want to hide something from someone else, you would encript it. If there is nobody else, there is no need to encode information.;-)
I will start using it somewhere next year (you known when there is a roof to put the panels on...). So I will put in my share, however you have to take into account that the solar panels will not produce electricity at night, when there are power requests from all those people turning on the lights and the television sets. A nuclear plant can't take these surges either. So yes, it would be good that there are a lot more solar panels, but you will still need other sources run on gas or coal or fuel (or water from a reservoir or...), because these are the only ones that are easily used for supplying the spikes in power demand. I don't know about fusion, but I think it will only be usefull to replace the nuclear power used today.
I don't know if it's available in compUSA, but try the HP 4300 in Windows NT4... It will not work. Try the HP4300 in Win2k or XP on a machine without USB and it will not work.
Try an Gravis ultrasound plug and play on any windows after win95 and it will not work (I found some beta drivers that work for nt4 and win2k)
A crystal sound card (forgot the number) on any nt4/win2k/xp doesn't work.
I agree it's somewhat older hardware. And the GUS and crystal are indeed isa-cards. But don't tell me that it is a snap to use it with Microsoft because it isn't. However, I think it is up to the vendors to supply drivers for all the OS'es.

What has "Belgium" to do with this? Do you think Belgians won't defend themself?

If it has to be fully functional, then use PDF. There are too many older versions of word around that will NOT read your word document.
You forgot WinNT: usable and I would add also: WinXP: usable on a very new (fast, expensive) system with a lot of memory.
