Sorry to say it but most companies are dropping Win98 support. I work for Blue Cross and telecommute from home, right now their software doesn't support WinXP but soon I'm going to have to upgrade to either XP or 2000(currently the software we use only works with 98 and 2000) because Win98 support will be dropped. Face it, 98 is a 4 year old OS and by the time Bryce 6 comes out it'll be a 5 year old OS. Most computers are obselete by the time they are 2 years old. It's time to move on. I know it sucks because I have Win98SE and haven't had any problems and can leave it running for days without a reboot. I've said I won't upgrade to XP unless they drag me kicking and screaming, looks like that day is coming fast.
