   You didn't buy a computer back in the before IBM XT days where the OS   
   was in ROM?   
      
   The OS on the Commodore 64 was preinstalled in ROM.   
      
   When I ordered the 486 I told the guy I wanted MS DOS 5.0 because I've   
   learned it was much better than their Version 4.1 , and I asked for a   
   set of Windows 3.1 disks that I could install whenever I wanted to play   
   with it.   
      
   Before I got this XP box a fellow I worked with gave me his 'old' W95   
   Gateway 2000 when I bought a W98 box.   
   Later I put W98SE on it 'all by myself'.     
      
   But I never BUILT a Computer from scratch.   
   I think I could, but never had the occasion (or $$$$'s or desire) to do   
   it.
