I started computers in 1982 with a Radio Shack. I went through all the steps of MS-DOS and was very unhappy when Win 3.0 came along. I have hated every version since then but I have to use them because I'm in the repair business. Win 98SE (in my opinion) is the very best, most stable, of any versions. I have managed to avoid NT & 2000. The versions of XP, both Pro and Home, are a joke. You can have the same problem that you had yesterday but the fix is never the same. I have noticed that each version requires more disk space, faster CPUs and more RAM than the prior. It appears that M$ has investments in hard drives, RAM manufactorers and CPUs. I just hope that Virtual Doctor will stay w/Win 98. Thank you!
