As for my comment on WinME being worthless, I don't run it, never have, and have never had any hardware problems to make me think ill of it. In fact I don't think ill of it. I just don't think it's worth spending money on. Calling it worthless means exactly that. I don't think it's worth spending anything on as an upgrade to 98. Calling it crap implies something is wrong with it. If I mean crap, I'll say crap. ;) Phoenix
