Thanks That_Stevens_Guy. I appreciate your point but this is not that great an issue for me because I can always use Skype or some other webcam messaging system (get my people to install similar software) to accomplish a 2 way communications stream. Just thought there might be an easy solution with HFS. I am using Win98SE very successfully, am very comfortable with it, have no intentions of going to XP (certainly not Vista). If a change ever became necessary, I am looking at Mac or Linux, which I am currently experimenting with. As far as support for 98SE, there is a programmer in Australia who continues to update, hotfix, patch 98SE with a program, AutoPatcher for Win98SE, a 280 mb file, which updates all aspects of 98SE until Dec/08. Another program Revolutions Pack 7.11 changes the 98SE gui to either XP or Vista. While I have great success with both of these programs, USE THEM WITH GREAT CARE!! because they can crash your system. So my 98SE looks like Vista with the reliability of 98SE. As far as available software for 98SE, I am using Oxygen Office Professional (the larger version of Open Office), the Gimp (the Photoshop replacement) for image manipulation, both free programs, plus all free security software (Avast, Super AntiSpyware Free, Spyware Blaster, Sygate Personal Firewall, HiJack This, CCleaner) to very securely protect my computer. Just my personal experience. Thanks again.
