Actually I have a 98SE machine for running some antiquated music software. And is that machine very unstable, you ask? I honestly don't know. I only use it occasionally, for shorter periods of time. I store nothing locally on it, all files are kept on my main [XP] machine. I just don't trust 9x and I never will again. It has caused me to lose irreplaceable material in the past and I will never allow that to happen again. If your machine works great -- good for you. But be warned, things can go bad when you least expect it. That's true for any OS of course, but running 9x the odds are really against you.

Sorry for all the off topic ranting. I've had nothing but problems with 9x and therefore I was a little upset when I saw someone praising it and [indirectly] recommending it.
