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

Fri Mar 12 05:49:22 PST 2004

Gee guys, I only have a 3 gig HD, and when I checked last night I was only
useing 730 meg of that. Up until about 3 months ago I had win98se running on
a pc with a compressed 200 meg drive.(something happened to the motherboard
or video card, not sure which might doo more testing with that this weekend)
Ok so I am a lil out dated

As for XP.... I from what I have used it, I hate it. Gives me a headache
just trying to look at it.
Just had a guy 3 days ago have me get rid of his XP and put on 98se

I have been running 98se for a few yrs now and it has been rock solid.
Yep, gotta have that DOS ability for me
