  Hi Bill

Seems like the WIN98 is to be the same kind of crap as the -95 was in
the beginning :->
I guess the best thing to do is living with the -95 �till -00 and then
hope for Microsoft to release a -02 so you could get a -98 that�s
working!
Or  the -99 model, -98#2.
I�m glad you passed the info though, I�ve been thinking about trying  a
beta version myself, but knowing what I know now, I�ll pass ;-)
BTW: I see people answering with comments like Buy a Mac !
Is this comming from the  truck or fruit company ???
