If you like older hardware and WIN98 you should check out Win98 Lite
<www.litePC.com>
It's the best $40 I ever spent on my computer (and he's working on XP lite).
It's an installer that gives you many more choices configuring Windows.
My daughters Pentium 90 runs 98 Lite with 32 Mb RAM no problem.
The best thing is you can omit Internet Explorer, contrary to what some
extremely wealthy computer geeks said.

No connection with the software company I just admire efficient
programming (even if I can't do it myself).
