Yep. Older system, running 98SE. They really shouldn't advertise it
as being compatible under 98.
I considered buying an XP upgrade but the cost of it, along with
necessary processor, BIOS and HDD upgrades would cost more than a new
box that included XP. Such is the biz . . .
Got my eye on iMac now, heh, heh, heh -- for once my procrastination
may pay off.

Still do. See the link posted above. But -- surprise! It doesn't
run on a 98 box.
