</div>Well, that was largely the *point* of my message, to provide another way to encourage folks still on Windows 98 to upgrade to Linux so that their ancient computers can use modern inexpensive peripherals (such as sub-$30 HP printers).

I just couldn't tell from your message that you were trying to encourage people to move off of it.
