I always find it interesting when someone without much of a posting
history posts to a dormant windows 98 newsgroup. I wonder what
motivated them to do it. How exactly did they choose which group to
post to. Why didn't they do a little more investigation to see what
might be the best group to post to.

So because this looks like some-what useful information, I'm adding a
couple of much more active groups to the original distribution so that
more people will see it.

I don't use opera myself, as Firefox 2.0.0.20 works just fine as a
web-browser for win-98, and netscape communicator 4.79 is a perfectly
good usenet client.

What would the world do without your sage advice and protection?

Changing the DLL did NOTHING on my USB(a)10 install. IIRC, it
actually fucked it up. It's probably just another way MS have
thought up of introducing spyware into computers whose owners
don't like IE.

Not to mention you are too stupid to use Opera. Firefox - IE for
people who like to proudly say they "don't use IE".

The same thing it would do without your crass comments and foul outlook.

So that makes you just stupid enough to use it I suppose.

No.

Firefox - a browser that actually works better than IE 6 has for the
past 5 years.
