an old 486 with Windows ME

I was going to say *ugh*, but then I noticed that you're also a glutton for punishment... ME? Even Dos 4.1 had better reviews than that waste of an operating system.

Never wanted to spend the money to buy a new license; the old one was on there, figured why bother. I think it has been online for five months now since the last reboot (patching the software last time required a reboot), directly connected to the net 24/7. I figured I'd get sick of the OS after a month or so and break down and buy a new OS for it, but it operates like a dream for both the MP3 player and browsing the net. If it ain't broke, I don't fix. :)
