Firefox 3.0: Anyone tried it yet?

...Jim Thompson

I'm still running W98SE.

anybody have W98SE drivers for a Lexmark X1240??
G-D Microsoft WITHDREW them June of last year,and the box said it had
W98SE support,but inside was a errata *** saying W98/ME support was
no available after June 30,07.

The drivers existed,but MS -MADE- everyone pull them,even the archive
sites.I can understand MS not wanting to create drivers,but to pull
ones already made is underhanded and stingy.

Sheeeesh, Jim! I hold back from upgrades and only this past year went
to XP, but using Win98SE is like Thomas More uttering, "...for Wales"
;-)

I always thought Win98SE was a piece-a-crap.

Well,each new OS requires more and more memory and uP speed,and I'm still
running an old 900 Mhz Athlon with a max of 512MB of SDRAM.
Up until recently,I had thought that XP needed much more than that.
I don't need anything more powerful,and I don't have any money for
upgrades.I was given the W98SE upgrade disc,needed to have USB support that
W98 was -supposed- to have.

(and now I find that MS is stopping sales of XP for all but laptops)

MS is just a pyramid scam.

That 900 MHz machine will run XP but you would not like it, it would
be a real slug on that machine.

XP and XP support keeps getting extended, major corporate's are
rejecting Vista in droves over comparability and legacy support
issues. I think the Vista debacle will dwarf the ME flop by quite a
bit. Worse than BOB even.
