Default Making Win98 work on the internet

I do have a more recent computer (XP, 2.8 GHz, 2 GB SD RAM) that I use for
image processing, but since I finally got a digital camera, I may want to
update that and replace my internet computer with it.


That machine is your best bet. A 500 MHz machine will look weak if you try to
run WXP on it, unless you know more than most people do about streamlining
it. Stay with W98 SE on that, you'll just about make it cope with XviD
playback if you're lucky, it won't do much more. If you want more from that
camera than shuttling CF cards between it and a reader/adapter, you'll need
some modern USB support and other drivers that USB will do ok as supplied.

Dump that I.E v6 if at all possible. Even Microsoft kind of wish that hadn't
happened...
