Greetings TOM!   
      
      
    RW>> IMO, there are good things and bad about 98SE and WME...I had   
    RW>> installed W98SE over W95 couple hundred years ago. I was glad to get   
    RW>> away from both of those when I went straight to W2k...   
      
    TW> Teh on;y problem I has with win98Se was it's louse USB support.   
      
   Little if any.   
      
    TW> Even thouhg it was better then win95, A REAL Joke for USB support,   
    TW> and the origional win 98 which was a little better but still not   
    TW> good.   
      
   I never went there. I went straight to SE...not by choice, but by luck as   
   it came with a system that I got 2nd hand.   
      
    TW> I really likes the USM suport in win ME and never had any of the   
    TW> problems others reported but found a good deal for win XP ant jumped   
    TW> at it.   
      
   I had to do some searching, as Vista was the latest OS, but I found XP at   
   a place online located in San Diego. $58 for the installation disk and it   
   was registered to me with MS.   
      
    TW> I stil like it better than Win 7 and I have absoulty njo0 interest in   
    TW> the Abortion called Win 8.   
      
   I'm stuck with Vista on my laptop for now, as the LAN card was rejected by   
   the W7 pre-install pgm. I've also converted my Kindle Fire to use the   
   Android OS, which frees the Kindle up to use Google Play, so I can get all   
   the APPs I want there. When you get used to playing with Android, W8 seems   
   simpler to use. Still not ready for W8 though.   
      
      
       Have a day!
