I have tested 98 on one occasion on my machine (and it was terrible slow
even for Windows, took around an hour to install). No big diffrences from
Win 95 so there isn't any problem with learning it if you know 95 (but the
same bug in Explorer.Exe that tries to create shortcuts whenever I switch
drives are still there.)

Backups? What are that? I laugh the fear in the eyes! I've never had any
lost data actually (not counting my backup of the Win 3.x and Office 4.x
floppies). Once I accidentaly removed my entire webpage from the harddrive
as I thought it was an older version. Luckily I could just download it via
FTP (besides a remodelling was needed by then anyway). Thinngs I feel that
need to be copied to a safe place (hmm... nothing at the moment) are copied
to other HDs (I know what a 8GB HD would be good for since I'm thinking of
buying a 17GB soon), floppies WILL break and the data is lost (if the
floppies aren't checked atleast once a month and there are atleast 10
copies of everything on diffrent floppies).
If I would loose everything I would just have to get my Internet connection
working and download all the things I miss (I guess I would get a lot of
free space afterwards).
