some new pickings:

Media Playback

K-Lite and the last VLC capable of running on 98SE are good substitutes for Quicktime. They can play almost all Quicktime files. The last Quicktime version is 6. Download at Oldapps.com

Flash 9 is the last compatible version. It can still play most flash files. http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashpl...sh_player_9.exe

aMSN is a wonderful MSN-compatible client. http://www.amsn-project.net/ My recommended choice for MSN-only messenger people

Google Docs is an excellent collaborative document suite, available online at docs.google.com

Two good FTP programs are http://www.oldversion.com/program.php?n=wsftp WS-FTP Free, and FireFTP at http://addons.mozilla.org and search for Fireftp.

Foxit Reader 2 or Sumatra PDF are your best PDF options.
