 98 or 2000?
Some people are suggesting I Upgrade to 2000. Can anyone tell
me why I should or shouldn't? Why is 2000 better than Windows
98? What parts of 98 do you miss or think is better than 2000?

I recently moved up to 2000, its a lot more stable than Me or 9x, its only crashed once in the several months I've used it, and that was when I tried to install a external USB burner.
I know it has some limitations with games, but I use it more now for development since its so much more stable

XP's what you should use, it's most reliable system of them all and it has tons of nice features, top on my list is cleartype font, hibarnation and the custom skinning (although i have them turned off now awaiting for better ones to show up). There's loads of others but many are details.

 Are you mad?!? 98 blows holes in cheddar cheese, it's so bad
Crashes at least 10x's a day. 2000 is the mutt's nuts, not a single crash in months.

Why would it take long to save stuff (it would depend on the program doing the save)? NTFS is faster and more stable by nature than FAT....are you thinking about Office 2000??

I have a similar problem Lou. Whether to add a few K to my Vic 20 or go all the way and get a Commodore 64... now I have heard about this new fangled Apple Lisa coming out soon... maybe I will wait for that.

Mine used to do that, but I changed some sort of network settings, and it only crashes once or twice a month now.
