BIG LOUD APPLAUSE !
Just one thing to add:
I run 98 on my latest machine (K7 500), and it's only purpose
is to offer a gameing platform - and that's exactly what I get.
A Computer to run 99% of all game stuff available. Of course I
apreciate all efforts to run or convert some stuff to other OSes
(Linux, etc. pp.), just for me as a user of this particular
machine Win98 is the only solution woth to be considered.
Ther's a whole lot of shit in there, but as long as it
does what I want it's acceptable.
