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.



You had to mention BOB. ME wasn't THAT bad, just an extension of Windows
98SE.

Sort of like how XP is an extension to Windows 2000. But Microsoft
really dropped the ball with Vista.
