If you can afford it--and have the desk space and electrical circuits to 
support it--a network of a Win 98 and a 2K machine, with the backup 
drive connected to the 2k, would be another solution. You could continue 
working in 98Se, and use the 2k box for anything that demanded more 
up-to-date technology.
Has anyone on the list tried a KVM (Keyboard, Video and Mouse) switch, which connects two computers using a single shared monitor, mouse, keyboard and speaker set? From the favorable description in the WSJ computer column (August 17, 2005), it sounds like an easy way to set up two computers at one desk.
