That's great, if it works for you, but 98 is just too antiquated for me. It flat
out would not even install on the Shuttle box. (I tried.) It might even be too old
to install properly on my four year old desktop system. There are just too many
drivers that are missing or not sufficiently up to date. Most could perhaps be
replaced somehow, but it's way too much of a PITA to bother with, IMO.

I don't. We're talking about *Flash media* getting messed up here, either as a
result of exposing them back & forth to the different OSes, or by not properly
dismounting them. Neither situation seems to apply to what you mentioned. Sounds
like W98 is a special case.
