Default Unable to register my windows 98

Hi,

How do I register my Windows 98 if I have no Internet connection?

I did not recieve a postal registration form when I purchased it.

I tried using a computer at a net cafe (right now) but ended up registering
it instead in my name (and besides, I believe the software on this computer
is pirated.)

Anyway, so how do I register my Win 98 SE?

Thanks.

Unlike WinXP, there's no required activation for Win98. I would expect
that when Win98 packages were being bought new they all contained a
mail-in card for registration, which was optional, but would get you
on MS's mailing list for updates, marketing, whatever. Now that Win98
is not being supported by MS (or not nearly as much, anyway), I doubt
that registering would get you much. I wouldn't worry about it.
