If you need a recovery disk and call them, they might tell you that
you can't get one. The original recovery CD was based on Win95,
which is allowed to be sold anymore since MS pulled the plug on it.
There is a second recovery CD which is win98 based however,
which I did not find out about 'till the second of third call about this.
So if you are told that you can't get a recovery CD, ask them to
dig around more for the win98 CD. Note that this is independant
of which version of Win98 you actually run--the recovery CD can
use an older version of Windows (weird, I know...).
