[WEB4LIB] Windows millenium(?)

[Phillip Whitford]

Tami-Jo,

I don't have any input for you on ME vs. 98 but a staff member here just
ordered a Dell system for home and she spoke to Dell customer support on the
phone and got them to send her 98 instead of ME.  So they can do it. She
needed 98 as her DSL connection configuration did not support ME.
