Hi

I still do loads with my Win98 machine and also my Win95 machine.
The SCSI scanner on the Win95 still is the best I have ever found
and the SCSI is wonderfully quick. The Win98 and Win95 machine
are used together to process images and put them onto CD.

When I have been on this XP machine a while I forget just how smooth
and easy it is to use the Win98 machine. No lumbering permission
issues... Do a 'find files folders' on the Win98 machine and it flashes
through in seconds... On here I may as well go and watch a film
for a couple of hours while I wait. Same goes for setting permissions.

I just had to give up again with the network on the XP machine cus
for some reason it wasn`t happy with the permissions to scan across
the network. As I say I just gave up and burnt what I needed to CD
on the Win98 machine.

The other thing I love is the speed at which the Win98 machine
boots up... seconds.

I also have an Amiga on Broadband here linkled to my Win98 and
Win95 machine. They work without problem together. I know when
I put the XP machine on the network though cus the Amiga goes through
a cycle of trying to handshake and the SCSI drive keeps flicking round. You
almost sense the XP machine struggling to come to terms with just
who and what it is trying to handshake with...

I am dreading the day I have to use anything more modern than XP.

PS: Win98 Paint retains image size and politely asks you if you want to
enlarge to a pasted image.... Not XP Paint. Its a pain when you are
trying to create same size images. I know that there is a work around
in XP but why did they change to an inferior method... I say that cus
there are numerous changes from Win98 that really makes me wonder.
