The little prick moderators on MSFN.org have this rule, and they even apply it to windows-9x/me, even though Micro$haft could give 2 ****s about those old versions of Windoze any more. The chicken-**** retards that run msfn don't realize that the only way they're going to GROW THE MEMBERSHIP of...

A while back there was a thread on Google Earth, at least I *think* it was this group. Someone provided a link to a modified v4 program for 98. Well, in anticipation of using it SOMETIME it was downloaded. Finally got to install it and wow, it is nice to have this program for W98! Wish I could...

I have used Win98 since it first came on the market. Years ago, when they first came out with IE6, I installed it and my system got really unstable. I finally formatted and reinstalled Win98se. Ever since I have never upgraded IE beyond 5.5. I have had many people tell me that IE6 has now been...

Hi, Does anyone know where I can get the download for *iTunes 7.3.2*? Will this *iTunes* work with the Windows 98SE? I tried the Apples website and the one they have now is 7.4 and it is for XP and above. The reason I want to know is because I need it for the class notes from the teacher. The...
