Default having trouble installing win98 on a laptop with no os

On Sun, 4 May 2008 13:24:40 -0500, "philo" put
finger to keyboard and composed:

Basically the machines I get could be anything.
I scrounge them up from where-ever I can get them.
Individuals, offices and junk piles..you name it.

I still have many of the Certificate of Authenticity booklets for the
bootable win98 cd's
and the ones I have are from either Gateway, Compaq or HP...
and they all are just generic Microsoft cd's for win98se.


Why do Win98SE CDs still sell for $40 to $50 on Ebay? Surely those old
PCs that use Win98 aren't worth that much. Is there a big demand for
legacy equipment? Where does it all go? Charities? Old folks?
