How many people are still using win98? I was just wondering cause I just realized how awful some of the skins made just for Win XP look on an older OS.

haven't used my 98 system in months. I do have to scan a few things and the scanner only works with the 98 system.

you need a tester?

I use 98 at work because of some project software that is too expensive to update to XP versions. I have contemplated installing wb everyday for the past 2 years and wondered just what newer skins looked like on 98. Now I know. I suppose I could set that system up to test 98 skins if there was ever any need for testers.

I upgraded my Ram to 1GB and now I can't even use Win98. Wahhh!!

Thanks guys. I don't need a tester. I was just wondering if it would be worth the effort to update the last few skins I did with a win 98 skin as a sub-skin. So far, I doubt it.

WOM was a little slow and didn't realize this was Donna.

The slight name change threw me.

This is the easiest thing in the world to do.
Create a Vitual PC and install Win98 on it.

Vurtual PC's have so many uses it is unreal, need to run an older application? VPC it. Need to test on a diff OPSYS? VPC it. Have a prob with some software VPC it. The nice feature is you can discard changes on you VPC's or if the effects of something are wanted the you can keep them.

Uhhh...who's Donna?

Donna is a great skinner, and one of my early influences. I think our styles are quite similar, only hers are always neater than mine.

click on sylva's name and take a look at the great array of skins on her page.

She'll always be 'CrazyGirl' to me....

In '76 I was already working in Architecture....

Allright, I know it's not the complete truth, But it came at a time when I really needed an ego boost! Do you mind if I print it out on parchment paper and hang it on my wall where my diploma should be?
Thanks Boxxi *s*

Sylva resists commenting on Jafo's age *s*
