Hi John:
I would think that also but I had a computer tech out here and he did no
better than I.  No there is no games on this machine at all, I am the only
one that uses it.  I have about the normal stuff on it.
Thanks,

There's no way you should be able to use up 512 MEGs in windows 98SE unless
you have some real gamer over there, sighted or you run a lot of stuff on
that computer. I had 256 with SE for years and didn't use half of that.
