Please no fighting and it is just not worth it --- remember we are talking
about computers aka machines -- smile

@ learningfast15 .................. Do NOT post your name and address here!

Try your friends and/or eBay for a Windows 98 SE Installation CD.

You don't really need to post your routing number, you're SSN will
suffice.
Correction:
Should have been 'your SSN'. Besides, if someone were dumb enough to do it
they would probably wouldn't have recognized the spelling error either.

Dang, is it beat up on Gary day or something -- he is not all bad --- give
him a break because he really knows his stuff and is very helpful to me and
others -- the Everest tool he posted I already downloaded and am enjoying
within 98 Second Edition

So, how close are we really now to George Orwell's 1984 in 2008 with security
video cameras around, digital passports, new driver licenses, etc. How much
freedom will we give up as Americans for security or will we trust in a
higher power for true internal safety rather than a fascade of external
security. As you can see, both are needed and important but the true
strength and rock comes from within and not from without. Riddle this and
Riddle that mind you all.

Exactly, shall we take a guess that Slow Learner is just say 15 years old ---
hence his due --- to the outburst and post I guess nickname. Sincerity and
Flattery do indeed help in this day and age as in most days and ages. grin

Look, SlowLearner15... Let me spell it out clear as I can: What you are

the immediate presence of the corporate person upon whom you intend to
perpetrate said crime.

Go buy a copy for $40 on EBay. Or go steal one. But quit being a total
dunce.

guys, i don't want you to send me a physical copy, idiots!!!! i just want
to know where i can obtain one for free or if any of you "helpful
professionals" could come up with the knowledge of creating a digital disc
image for me to burn. if u can, ill give you my email.

Why doesn't the op just contact Microsoft -- they have always been helpful to
me and still are very helpful to me although I have points of disagreement
with them and agree with Chris Quirke's mvp's stance on the issue of things
to do with external security and internal safety. Heck, if the op wants a
free os then why not just go with Ubuntu Linux and Mozilla Firefox which are
both free and legal. In addition, perhaps the op has some friends who no
longer use Windows 98 Second Edition and have a cd that they will give to him
and transfer the license and cd to him and thus provide op with needed
solution. him is just a guess and if it is a her then kindly respond so we
can all clear matters up and not be under a Blue Cloud of Confusion

Exactly, Ebay last time I checked was around $75 up from $50 for a full
retail copy of Windows 98 Second Edition. I guess 98 Second Edition is
becomming popular again what with Dan K's research and DNS Pollution
everywhere.

You can make your own free copy when you buy the original. (Only make one
copy). Prices seem to start from 46 for OEM full version, and 89 for retail
full version. That's U.S. dollars. Ebay may be less expensive.

Only the person in possession of the license for, and in possession of the
original installation CD, may make a backup copy of that original. That is,
one copy only. You may also make an ISO copy, as long as only one physical
CD backup copy of the original exists at any one time.

But it *is* in contravention of the EULA, even in Europe, to make unlawful
copies and distribute them. I didn't say the OP would necessarily be
committing a crime by using such a copy. My point was that the legitimate
owner would be doing so by providing the copy. The act of distributing an
illicit copy of the software is called "piracy". I doubt even Europe managed
to ditch that part of the EULA.

That is the crime that I was speaking of, which crime the OP is
*soliciting*, which, at least in the US, is itself a crime.
