Oh, for those who upgrade to Win98: be sure to recheck your modem dialup
setup. Win98 helpfully reset my ISP's DNS numbers to zero. This meant that
it took longer to log in.
I reset the values. It does seem to log in quicker now.
But... Win98? I think the name means "Bill Wins 98 more dollars!"

>The biggest surprise is how little difference it makes. I had Windows 95
