- I ordered the CD Technology package deal for NT. You can get an internal

- The samples compile correctly. The on-line help has worked for me.

- You'll be paging all the time with only 8 Meg. MS advertises 12 Meg min,
- 16 Meg recommended for development. Depending what else is on your 120
- Meg HD, you might be cramped. NT development needs about 70-90 Meg.
