I too have WIN 98. It was installed on my Compaq when I bought new in 1998. I've never had the urge to upgrade, especially with all the frustration I see with friends and relatives who have. A word about buying secondhand: I would never even CONSIDER it. The prices I see for new are so inexpensive here, eg $499.00 COMPLETE!!! (avg $200 used and not complete).
