It frightens me to think that there are people out there still running this, let alone buying it for the first time.

90 bucks, on eBay you get it for 7 bucks

The Microsoft Windows 98 operating system makes your computer work better and play better.

that reminds me, i should upgrade to 98 soon.

**jimmyf** · 12-12-2004, 02:20 PM

i run it one one of my computers, not the one i use though

.

I have a Dos application I sell, some process control stuff.
and yes people still buy it, sold 25K worth of it 1 1/2 year ago.

The application will run in XP but why would they want 2 update 2 XP when all they use is my software on the computer.

still got around 50 of them in use.

I still run it, no one makes virus's for it now. Where as you wankers with XP get controlled by willy gates and have to have 6 different virus checkers running.........

Well a lot of people who bought a computer a long time ago and have never needed to get another one, will still have 98.

**bignasty** · 12-12-2004, 02:32 PM

I'm stll running it on one of my computers, plus my main one still has me on it. I hate xp and will not use it, so I'll keeo running a version I like. Plus I've had a few people have me install 98 on new computers for them because they don't like xp either.

**iwantchixx** · 12-12-2004, 02:37 PM

i've got 98 running on my laptop. Of course, xp would choke it half to death if i even so much as sat the disk next to it it's so old.

**pornguy** · 12-12-2004, 02:40 PM

I have it on one of my machines, and it is very stable. @ others I have still have me, and they blue screen all the time.

I have 2 on XP and have no problems with them.

Yes, the "Blue Screen of Death" makes your computer experience much better.
