LOL, don't mean to laugh, but found humor in that the machine running most
flawlessly for you is running WinME.

Go figure.  Ironic, but I guess it is fitting though.  I'd be tempted to
install WinME on these older Win98 PC's, but I don't think I have any
Windows (Masochist Edition) CD's anymore.  Had a few at one time, but I know
I broke at least one in half --- cutting my hand in the process.  Damn WinME
wasn't content on just causing pain on PC's, but cut my hand too!  :^)

I hear ya, it'll all "get there" eventually..

Cheers!
