Well.... annoyances.org has an antipiracy policy and the rules must be obeyed.
If someone posts a question about a specific piece of software IE or OE, I try to
answer the question rather than try to talk them into using some other program. Besides,
we have YOU for that. 8-)

When IE is upgraded a number of other components are upgraded whether you use IE
or not. Upgrading IE after a clean install of Win98 is a good idea even if you have
no intention of using IE. The alternative is to have an even older unpatched version
of IE on your computer.

I think most of those Ubuntu clones recommend 512MB of RAM although most Pentium
III class computers should support that amount.

Seems to be a good way to copy files from a Win98 computer to a thumb drive even
if the the thumb drive is not supported under Win98.
I don't know if you got my reply to the e-mail you sent me.
I think one of the reasons Linux isn't more popular is that quite a number of commands
still need to be typed whereas in Windows just about everything can be accomplished
with a mouse click. On the other hand Linux is becoming more popular thanks to Vista.
It would be interesting to see if the trend continues with Windows 7.
