Carol adds:
Add me to the list of people who still use Windows 98. Thanks for
pointing out the advantage of retaining it, Dina. I knew there had to
be one--other than not having to fork out $800.00 or whatever for a
new computer. (And since I don't have a CD-RW drive, I have no idea
how to transfer all the stuff I have stored on this hard drive to a
new computer.) What I really *do* need is a faster modem. Anyone
besides me spend *hours* trying to download the new HP trailer only to
find that it couldn't even be saved to their hard drive? (I have the
medium-res Windows media Player version, but the high-res version
won't save and the super-high res won't even load properly. And the
QuickTime versions not only take ten years to load, they won't save at
all.)

the Internet (The WW has Voldemort. Does the WWW have Voldienet?)
