OK guys, after MEBs response to my post I had to do it, after probably
10 years of not having to block senders, I had to do it. So now it's
done. *ALL* MEBs posts are deleted from my system and will no longer
even see them on the system (hurray!).
Sorry MEB (for you), you are just acting too weird!
How old are you? Acting like a self-righteous juvenile, I hope you are
not an OLD man! GROW-UP!

MEB, you sometimes answer posts with information which is helpful. BUT
the traffic cop approach (e.g. your response to 98Guy's post in this
thread) is just nauseating. It's been addressed before. Don't you have
anything better to do with your time than act as this groups traffic
cop?
We all know this NG addresses an 11 year old (read: ELEVEN YEAR OLD)
operating system, superceded by ME, W2K, XP, Vista, Win7. It is
followed
by few people, many of whom (such as myself) *APPRECIATE* ANY WAY TO
CONTINUE USING W98 as technology RACES away!! GET IT? And don't you
think people using an operating system ELEVEN YEARS OLD have SOME
experience with operating systems and realize W98 is UNSUPPORTED and
subject to all kinds of malicious intrusion (BTW; as is *ANY* OS, READ
*ANY* , *ANY*, *ANY* OS), or do you think people are incapable of
taking
care of these matters and NEED you acting as a trumpet and their
protector?
Come on, give us a break with that nonsense. I'd like to continue to
see
you address posts in a helpful, not HATEFUL manner as is the case
here.
Wouldn't you rather be though of as HELPFUL instead of your NOW
perceived participation as an irritant!
Thanks to 98Guy for keeping us updated with these mods to keep W98
going!
I for one don't always use them but keep information in the back of my
mind or even archive it for possible future use. And like MANY, I want
to keep W98 alive as long as possible (because I use it)!
HEHEHEHE, so you won't see this then, too bad... those that do should
remember that most of the parties making non-standard installation
recommendations haven't used 9X for several years except MAYBE to play
around with occasionally. Many never use Windows at all...
These non-standard file installations are a bad idea, and DO introduce
unknowns {including files never found in 9X except for special needs}
into the stable environment left by EOL. IF you need a browser then find
one that provides the functionality and MORE that IE6 once provided
rather than non-tested files.
As for Media Player, there are numerous players available, many still
being created and updated, and supply 9X capability. The best thing per
Media Player is to BLOCK its access to the Internet altogether, and if
necessary, use something else, generally WITHOUT the DRM and massive
bloat. As for additional codex, there are some available to extend the
capabilities of Media Player....
