I installed the 2001 CD earlier this evening... installed fine, and it
appears that you can have both 99 and 2001 on the system at the same
time. The 2001 CD also has the option to put the whole thing on the
hard drive, which I did.  OS is Win98SE.

I then tried to get the font sizes up to 22... but there seemed to be
no option for it. I poked around in help, and it said to click on
Library, etc. Clicking on that seemed to do absolutely nothing. After
using the Repair option, then uninstalling and reinstalling, I was
getting the same results.

A little while later, I moved the window over to the side for some
reason or other, and clicked on the menu item again, and the menu
appeared, at long last -- to the left of the window. And all I could
see was the shortcut keys, and I had to scroll to see all of the items
on the menu. I reduced the system font size from extra large to large,
and then again from large to normal. The menu STILL appeared to the
left, and still had to be scrolled, and I still had to have the window
far to the right, but at least I could see *most* of the text on the
menu, enough to see that F2 was for opening the options dialog, where
I could set the font sizes, which was what I'd been looking for a full
20 minutes earlier. I finally got the printer fonts set to 22 and the
screen fonts set to 16-18.  Anyone else have trouble with that menu?

Then I spent a while killing AOL... every time I tried to do
something, AOL would pop up and try to dial.  I'd close that window,
and a moment later, AOL would pop up again.  Took me a while, but I
finally beat it into submission.  I think.  :)  I've never seen an AOL
so grimly determined to dial out.  AOL 8, if I remember right, in case
anyone's interested.  After messing with the dial-up networking
settings, and so forth, simply removing the icon from Startup did the
trick.  I removed a couple of IE add-ons too, which probably had
something to do with it.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
