   Oops, my bad.  [burp... gulp... just halfway through my hat...]  It lists one   
   update in the Add/Remove programs CP applet.  Bummer.  The Win98 KB891711   
   security patch.  I wasn't aware of it till you queried it.   
      
   The original PC was our 'front end' for our old T-bar coax LAN to the   
   internet, via dial-up.  Hence the firewall doover it used to have.  My Fido   
   status was non-CM in those days, operating within "limited hours" for the BBS   
   & mailer besides ZMH.   
      
   Forget what I wrote, Matt.

   It pains me to hear that.  ;)  It's nice running little Win98 VMs. Nearly as   
   good as little Linux VMs.
