Goodbye old friend

Today is a sad day for me. I will be reformatting the Windows 98 PC that I had been using at the office for the last decade. On the 1st of March it refused to boot and although I managed to get it running it is far from stable and sadly must be put down.

To be honest it was a case Trig’s of the broom and the handle as it was upgraded from 95 to 98 and had most of the hardware replaced or upgraded over the years. Reflecting on it the only original partd are the keyboard and mouse that I am using just now.

I have now gone space age and am using one of our test bed machines running the up to date Windows 2000 and am preparing myself to move to XP, just as soon as Vista is released. :-)
