RW>IMO, there are good things and bad about 98SE and WME...I had installed   
   RW>W98SE over W95 couple hundred years ago. I was glad to get away from both   
   RW>of those when I went straight to W2k...   
      
   Teh on;y problem I has with win98Se was it's louse USB support. Even   
   thouhg it was better then win95, A REAL Joke for USB support, and the   
   origional win 98 which was a little better but still not good.   
   I really likes the USM suport in win ME and never had any of the   
   problems others reported but found a good deal for win XP ant jumped at   
   it. I stil like it better than Win 7 and I have absoulty njo0 interest   
   in the Abortion called Win 8.   
      
      
   RW> EV>> I've always used True Image for backups on the XP box.   
   RW> EV>> On the 486 I used a backup program that came with the SyQuest EZ-135   
   RW> EV>> Parallel Port External HDD.   
      
   Simlar situation hewre except I used a SCSI Zip drive instead of the   
   EZ-135   
      
   RW> RW>> I've always used one version or another of Partition Magic to   
   RW> RW>> make HDs NTFS, rather than FAT/FAT32. I think the last version   
   RW> RW>> I used was v8.0 but I started using it around v5.0 or so.   
      
   I used Power Quests Drive Image and Partition Magic for many years.   
   Still have several copies of Drive Image V4.0 and 2002   
   Now days I use EaseUS Partition Manager for adjsuting partitions and   
   have played with EaseUS Todo Backup Free for drive cloning and it works   
   good but I stil perfer True Image I am current using Drive image 2013.
