>>>About USB. My HP USB deskjet never did work with Win 98. I couldn't get it to install. So much for USB being there. Maybe it was the hardware. It was on an IBM Aptiva that came out before Win 98. It wasn't the printer, because the printer always worked fine with the Mac. And by the way, it worked fine with Win98 under Virtual PC on the Mac. But that uses a different USB driver than what's in Win 98. Go figure.

That's funny, I have a HP printer using USB and running Win98 and had no problems whatsoever. My hardware was kludged together pieces and parts. Just booted the PC; plugged in the printer; and, poof, new hardware recognized. Completed the installation as described in the manual. Go figure.

Your problem was probably the hardware (IBM Aptiva) which is why I prefer Wintel. I can choose which motherboard, processor, and peripherals I want.
