Re: which computer - win98se update

[John junja@xxxxxxxx]

There's a Win98se update available at:

- http://exuberant.ms11.net/98sesp.html or
- http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4131.html

It's a (12 Mb) private compilation of the
important updates supplied by MS (before they
stopped supporting 98se). I've been using it for
some time and find the system is more solid.
