Hi Alec,

Thanks for your balanced and sensible point of view. I've been running 98SE for four and a half years to date and have NEVER had a crash. My system works perfectly. That isn't to say it will not crash. I certainly hope not but readily acknowledge it is always a possibility.

Comparing 98 to a KN2000 and XP to a KN7000 is comparing apples and oranges. I know lots of folks who have had myriad problems with XP. My son, whose expertise is without question and for whom I have a great deal of respect and trust, will not run XP. He has four computers networked in his home, one acting as a server, so is not a novice in the computer field.

98SE does everything I need to do AND MORE! I have no plans to change OS's anytime soon. To infer that 98 is the Model T Ford of operating systems is clearly hogwash.

By the way, I play the music on your website, Larry, and it sounds great with Media Player 7.1. I thank you for making the music available to all of us.
