One more thing. If you have a few bucks and a Best Buy or Circuit City nearby you can get USB network adapters. I don't think they're more than $15 if memory serves me correctly.

Make sure that anything you purchase is Win98 compatible. Just as a guess you might need to go to the manufacturers website to get drivers for Win98, but it sounds like you have putting files on disks down-pat so this shouldn't be a problem for you.

If I remember correctly, Microsoft stopped offering Windows 98 updates on their site as of last year.

Thank you again. I'll check out the USB network adaptors if I run into more roadblocks. I may give my son a call also, to see if I can get a later version of Windows other than XP to upgrade..that is another option to getting the IE5 or 6 on this old tin lizzie.

You have been a huge help :)

Correct. Microsoft no longer does updates for the OS but they do provide updates for IE. If you do manual updates for your computer you'll notice that a large percentage of the high priority updates are fixes for security holes in Internet Explorer.
