Since I started with WIN98, I haven't had any crashes (Soft or Hard) that I
didn't cause myself.  None have been the fault of the OS yet.  I wasn't sure
when I got it (WIN98) if that's what I really wanted to do, but now that I have
it, I'm glad I got it.  BTW, I have the OEM full install version, and not the
upgrade version.   Don't know whether this has anything to do with it, but just
as an FYI.

                                    Regards,

                                      Jim
