BTW, are you indicating that Win 98SE _in general_ should only be used
for retro-computing, or only Win 98SE _in the particular configration
you described_ should only be used that way?
Because, if the latter, I happily use Win 98SE on most of my machines,
for the vast majority of my work!
Of course, I don't need to run the latest and greatest uSloth
bloatware^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H applications, so they fact that they
probably won't run on the older Windows (What a shock! You don't think
they would by any chance want to encourage people to pay them a large
pile of dineros for the latest and 'greatest' version of their OS, do
you?) is not a problem for me.
The biggest issue, actually, for me, is that the latest Adobe Reader
which will run under Win 98SE is 6.0, and that doesn't support some of
the latest PDF's (in particular, encrypted ones).
You might try http://www.pdfunlock.com/ It will convert pdf version 1.7
files with encryption to pdf version 1.4 which should work.
