[AT] OK boys, I need help!! OT Computer stuff

[Carl Tatlock]

I'm sorry to intrude with this plea for help, but I"m in a hurry-up that 
is not of my own devising, so I need advice.

I need to get a new computer-- STAT

I need to get a new operating system-- I am running W98 SE. 

I have saved a lot of computer stuff from the ATIS list (which I trust 
far more than a 17 year old compurter salesman.)   BUT I still don't 
have an answer --even tho I reviewed the ones I saved-- mostly from last 
summer.     I also just changed from Netscape 4.7 to Mozilla (thanks for 
the tip Cecil) and love it..  But, back to the story.

I am  researching and writing a n extensive  genealogy  project for my 3 
children.  So far in 5 years I have about   850 pages put together.  
That, and ATIS are the bulk of my work on computer.  

98 SE is getting cranky.  I bought a  flash memory stick but even with 
the driver CD it wouldn't stick in my computer.  Time to consider a new 
computer and a new OP system.  

Where am I going with this long tale??   Right here.  What OS is 
recommended: 
2000, or NT (home version)   ??    Come on guys--  All thoughts 
considered.   

Tractor reference:   When I get a new computer, I will run over the old 
one with the $#@%& Cub (if it doesn't stall it out)  ;-)                 
            Thanks,  Carl in VT
