Windows 98 - Its Time Has Come...and Gone!

So you still have that old Win98 computer, huh? Still works, heck, you're reading this post with it. Cool! But time is running out...quickly!

Windows 98 and ME folks are about to lose their support from Microsoft starting July 11. Sort of sad in a way---there are millions of old computers out there that work and are still being used but their time has come and gone!

So what are you going to do? I suppose you could just take your chances and see what happens and I suppose you could finally make the decision to upgrade. If you take a look in the Sunday paper advertisements, you can pick up a "low end" maching for real cheap money and if you are still using a Win98 machine, this new baby will do more and do it faster than what you have now.

So, start looking...it's time for a new machine! So where do you look? Well, there are a lot of places but one of the best deals I ever got was at TigerDirect on the net.

Right now, they have a Gateway 560GE Intel Pentium 4 630 3GHz(HT) / 512MB / 250GB HDD / DVD±RW Dual-Layer / Flash Media Reader / Windows XP Home / Refurbished Desktop PC for$499.99 ....it is worth checking out as well as those Sunday ads!
