Heh, I already made a post I was still using Win98SE and so *wanted* a
new computer that *comfortably* handle a newer OS because many of the
software I *coughunofficiallycough* try doesn't work on older systems.

Though, look on the bright side, newer software isn't the only thing
ignoring Win98... Various new worms and other security hazaards
frequently don't bother coming up with hacks for Win98 since it's
outdated.

I can't use iTunes at home.  I only recently registered for an iTunes
account... at work on an eMac with the latest Tiger OS X upgrades
(because my boss is a Mac lover - even had to upgrade to that new
'Mighty Mouse' for his PowerMac).  Err, thankfully... or hopefully,
this Mac keyboard was inexpensive since I spilled cola soda on it and
stuck it under a shower to rinse out most of the soda, but
unfortunately, the keyboard is clear acrylic/plastic and you can still
see inside these brown 'sticky' drink stains a little if you flip it
over.

Love cheap PC keyboards for hiding all the stuff dropped on and inside them.
