Hardly. For the price of a DL I can get an HP Media Center PC with 1GB
PCI3200 memory, 2.8GHz P4, 200GB SATA drive, and a DVD burner. That's
far
In that case, US prices for cameras probably aren't applicable either.
I'd still expect a good PC to be available for less than the price of a DS.

You may even need to update windows in order to use most Card Readers,
which require Me, 2000 or XP for the more comprehensive USB support
(many don't even work with Me). 98 is quite archaic.

Just to be sure, I double-checked the requirements for using the istDS, and

You'll get used to the menus. For the most part, once you've set the menu

You need either Windows 2000 or Windows XP with USB support. You won't

It works fine with Windows 98SE.

If there's one essential accessory for a DSLR, it's a modern PC (or Mac).
You need the processing power and you need the storage space. Your
machine probably came with a 10GB disk. You'll soon use that up.
If you think you can get away with not processing your images, you've

Actually Windows 98 does support USB devices, but the support is
extremely limited beyond mice and keyboards. SE added more support and
is the usual baseline for USB devices, but now many devices are
requiring 2000 or XP since MS no longer provides support for 98 and Me
was a disaster
Your experience is completely contrary to mine wrt the speed of XP and
98(SE). The speed at which a machine boots up is dependent upon what
programs and processes are being loaded and how well the disk is
maintained, how much total on-board memory there is, and how Windows is
configured. A lot
Quite right. It's what I would have written if I'd had the patience.

I can confirm 98se should work OK.
98 or 95 however or dead dead and dead.
Oh and BTW, don't even think about Me, if you want something else than
an Blue Screen factory ;)
But really 2K can run honestly (not recommended but...) on a
300Mhz+256MB ram and a fast HDD.

I do not see where XP is better than 98SE. Yes I upgraded because a lot
of modern software won't run on 98SE but XP has a lot of stuff that is
not needed by Joe User, but makes corporates IT folks happy. In fact I
find that XP Pro SP2 is its own virus. I shut off automatic updates and

PS 7.0 is workable on 98SE ... I ran it, but with only one hard disk and
not a lot of memory, it ran poorly with large files. TIFF, PSD, as well as
JPEG were able to be run, but with an istDS, the only file format that can
be used would be JPEG.

If you do go the card reader route, try to find a relatively slow one. That
will have a better chance of working with Win 98SE. I don't know if any will
work with non-SE versions.
