My OS's (also ordered 98) should be here next week. I finally talked to somebody at Atacom that knew something. I kept thinking that the prices were TOO good, and then when their order-confirmation didn't list the items I became paranoid and started insisting on written, itemized confirmation, or I would refuse the shipment.

A man named Larry assured me that the OEM designation means that it is not the upgrade version, and he sounded like he knew what he was talking about. I will get a license and a "key" -- ID# to enter when installing, and also a setup disk.

He said they only sell the original-install versions with a hardware purchase, or sometimes to repeat customers. He said that it says as much on their on-line catalog, but it doesn't.

Man, do I worry a lot.
