W've all by now heard about the Windows .ani cursor exploit. Microsoft is calling this not merely a 'critical' update but an 'extremely critical' update. Since all support for Win 98 and ME ended last June, I obviously didn't expect to see either one of these O/S lsted as vulnerable, much less any patches. But this website: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/23194 does list both Win 98 and ME as vulnerable. Is this a concern for Win 98, or will perhaps just uninstalling IE completely (along with OE) and using Firefox take care of it?

I went to trustprice.com and wow, they have a much bigger selection. Forget what I suggested and if you want a still sealed new copy-go there!

Here's a place to buy a brand new OEM copy of Win 98SE for $59: http://www.bigclearance.com/productList.aspx?prodInfoId=9508 I haven't bought from them lately, but I did buy my copy of Win98SE from them back in 1999 when it was a new O/S. (I also bought, 3 or 4 years ago, new OEM copies of Win NT4 and Win 95C (OSR 2.5) from them, all Win 95 is gione now.)
