* 
* Just found out the hard way that Photoshop CS will not install on a 
* Windows 98 machine. You must have WIN2000 SP3 or higher, or XP. This 
* may be the final straw that will break my WIN98SE back. Time for a 
* new computer I reckon.
* 
* So, on my next few days off I'll be hunched over an XP machine trying 
* to get programs to install, transferring data and trying to remember 
* where all my program serial numbers are. I was hoping to wait until 
* 2004 when the new version of XP with 64-bit support is supposed to 
* come out, but oh well.

Sanfo,

I know the extra cost is an unpleasant surprise but XP is a much better OS
than Win 98. The learning curve is pretty easy and you should not have to
reload all your software if you do an upgrade to XP on your Win98 machine.
Photoshop CS should be well worth the effort in any case.
