I obtained a legal copy of win98 se from a friend. He's
into Linux now. He can't find his product key for the 98
he gave me. I would like a legal solution. I understand
nobody will post a key in this newsgroup, but can someone
provide a link or email address to pursue this? I can't
think of a legal or ethical issue with being able to own
and use this software.

Thanks in advance!

How is someone meant to help you with this delicate
problem when you yourself does not supply a method of
direct contact?

Posting a valid e-mail address in a newsgroup is not good practice, and a
legal solution to this problem does not require it.
