23: that "tcp/ip kernel driver" is actually the MSBlaster virus.

... I don't know how you get that.. ::)
That's just other people/servers scoping you out. My server gets about 10 of those every minute.
Some of them could be related to MSBlaster, but most likely the majority are not.

98 is the best

This person should be shot.
98 sucks. It's very unstable, as mentioned.
Though, I understand you have a celery.. so.. it's pretty much your only option.
I had a 1.7ghz celery in here a week or two ago. Thing took about 2 minutes to boot into XP (Duron 1.2ghz takes about 15 seconds), and about the same amount of time to shut down.
Felt guilty to the guy I was selling it to... but it had a nice motherboard in it that supports up to 3ghz.. and he did get a deal... so....

My dad's Win95 OSR2 has been great for him. I wouldn't put anything more on that machine anyway (p1 233, 64mb ram)

Depends on what you use a machine for.. for development, any 9x (ME) OS is mostly useless. But if you're just surfing or email (but not with Outlook), 98 should be fine, though, I'd recomend 98b at least...

That we do...
I should change mine after I get a hair cut.

However, I've been saying that I'm going to get a hair cut since August.. so... ... don't hold your breath.

Mistakes you make are much more likely to bring down the entire OS rather than just give you an error message.

yeah, it does look pervish.

I stronlgy recomment win2k my sister's comp is now running windows 2000 (P II 225 mhz, 32+128 mb ram) and it's an internet gateway.
Win 2k actually runs faster than win 98, but it just asks for more ram.
