    To each his own.

    I guess it would all depend on what you do with your computer.

    All I can tell you is this...Whatever makes you happy.

    The computer I use to check my e-mails and to get on the internet is a Packard Bell, Legend 130cd Supreme, with a few changes, it now as a 150Mhz processor, 80MB memory,45xcd,56k modem and runs Win95b, and may not be lighting fast but works just fine. Even though microsoft doesn't support Win95 any more I do believe that it will be around for sometime to come.

    98SE and ME will probably be around longer then most people think. They are the last of the MS OS's that can be used without calling home to MSFT. There are literally thousands of applications that work on them and they still work on even the latest hardware. Their usefullness is far from obsolete. I give them at least another 5 years.

    I love my 9x kernel...

    Windows 98 SE will be obsolete when Windows XP can run on a system with 32 MB of RAM. In other words, I keep my Windows 98 for my older systems, such as the Duron 850 with the integrated video.
