Urk.  If that's the case then the only thing I'd get with 98SE would be the
ability to run newer versions of stuff that don't run on 95 any more (like
the Norton security stuff).

Anything resembling power management is already disabled.

How do you shut down to the "orange-on-black idiot screen only"?

What about Rnaapp?

Maybe the original hard drive is starting to go bad... ?
