Windows 98 is totally obsolete and useless. WindowsXP is a completely different architecture for just about everything except the name Windows. You owe it to yourself to check out WindowsXP, even though it is subsidized by the "eveil empire." :) -g.

It too will be considered obsolete and useless in 5 years time. (Even if it isn't.) -- Paul Martin <pm@zetnet.net> (work) <pm@nowster.zetnet.co.uk> (home)

It's OK, I use it about once a year ;-) Apparently Microsoft reversed their decision to drop support for Win98 a couple of years ago as so many people worldwide were carrying on using it. Why spend money on massive hardware upgrades to run XP when '98 will do? Andy ------------------- Andy Thomas, Sys admin, Dijit New Media Ltd.
