[bredroll]

Hi,

i would suggest. (isnt ie5 still crap on any platform?)

1) nt4 (sp6 ie4 + ie5) & netscrape 4 & 6, mozilla , 
   win98 (ie4 + ie5) & netscrape 4 & 6, mozilla,
   linux & netscrape 4 & 6, mozilla, gaelion, lynx, w3m, emacs, Xemacs  
         (wine + ie3?) konqueror, mozaic, chimera, staroffice

2) OS/2 (whatever)
   dos, (arachne)
   win2k with ie5 & netscrape 4 & 6, mozilla

3) BeOS (???),
   win2k with aol (vomit) 

4) mac 
   netscape 
   + magic mac with CAB & Adamas? :-)   

+ qnx on floppy

i dont think you can run 2 win2000/me on one pc.

if you think pc 1 is getting a bit full your mac could run the linux
installation.
