Re: Dual Hard Drives

What on earth were you thinking Carey?

Are you really trying to tell everyone that if you have a new computer the
following will not run on it.
1. Dos
2. Windows 3.1
3. Windows for workgroup
4. Windows 95
5. Windows ME
6. Windows 98
7. Windows NT
8. Windows 2000
9. Windows XP
10. Windows 2003

No, it won't work. Windows 98 is an old operating
system and will not function in a new computer.
