   ml> ml> useless to even try a reload as the fixpacks and updates aren't    
   ml> ml> even available any more... fsckin'  barstools :/   
      
   ml>  RESJ> hmmm, last time I was on the win 89 update site, every update was   
   ml>  RESJ> still there    
      
   ml> i've not been able to find them manually or with the w98 update   
   ml> mechanism...   
      
    RESJ> hmmm, your going to make me turn on my win. 98 computer here to   
    RESJ> see if it there    
      
   hahahaha... i looked and looked for several years before my w98 fell over...   
   the best i could find, but i didn't take, was an install ISO thing from   
   russian territory... or somewhere over there... it was supposedly all fixed up   
   with all the latest but i just didn't trust that there wasn't some embedded   
   malware in it...   
      
   ml> m$ used to also have a CD they sold with all of the updates on it and i   
   ml> can't  find it any more either...   
      
    RESJ> I have a second editon cd-rom (not for sale)   
      
   i've got several of those with valid licenses but they don't have fixpacks   
   applied like w2kSP4 did...   
      
   either way, it tooks years longer than m$ wanted but i was finally forced to   
   leave w98 behind... i firmly believe that this is why they also removed the   
   updates and the update CD they used to sell... their story was that it took   
   too much room on the servers that anyone with any real brains knows that was   
   c4rp ;)
