I wish I could find something like that around here.  Yes, Windows 2K is
leaner than XP.  When 2K first hit the internet I didn't want to mess up my
main computer so I used it on my laptop...a Pentium 166 with 40 megs of
memory and a 2.1 Gig hard drive.  It was a bit slow but it did work.  The
Celeron should handle it just fine.
