I second that about MS Win98 being less than ideal and secure - I voluntarily helped manage a community organization's MS Win98 training and education network, which was also connected to the Internet. I sometimes think it might've been more useful for defeating the Internet nasties, to have stripped off, painted myself in pig-grease, clay, ash and ochre, and danced around a fire beating a kundu and chanting "pudida-pudida-pudida, ouh-ouh!" as to rely on MS Win98 - a games machine's OS if ever there was one, where the OS plays the deathmatch as well/badly as the gamer - and the attendant anti-viral and anti-malware stuffing. I would've had a lot more fun! Wesley Parish -- Clinersterton beademung, with all of love - RIP James Blish ----- Mau e ki, he aha te mea nui? You ask, what is the most important thing?
