Oh yeah....

Anything dealing with technology is obsolete in 6 months.

Damn.

New and improved is not always right the first time around. I didn't get rid of windows 98 until 18 months ago, when I got the new PC. The old one is still working, still gets on the internet and is a real workhorse for what it does. Nuff said.

I'm surprised your PC continued to run. It was my experience that 98 tended to "self-destruct".

Hell, I got 2 units with 98 on em that both work like champs. One is used by my partner so we can both be on-line at same time, and the other is in perfect working order but not being used at the momement. I was going to give it away to a friend of ours to use for school (has word on it) but she has not room for it (big old tv style monitor.

That isn't unheard of. It's just rare.

I used to maintain Win98 machines and I noticed certain trends. There were certain registry entries that always looked corrupted. There were .tmp files building up in c:\windows\temp and c:\windows\tmp. And, certain files would often show up as corrupted time and time again.

Deleting those registry entries and those .tmp files, then re-installing the corrupt system files tended towards making a happier machine.
