Win 98 is really old... old old...no more updates for it etc. It would be highly vulnerable on the net today. It is probably low in RAM and would be very slow doing everything.
You could upgrade it, but Jo would have to help with that.
Win7 upgrade is about 80-100 dollars. You might need more RAM to run it too.
This desktop of mine is running Windows XP with 1 Gig of RAM and that is not enough these days. Thinking about more in fact!

Okay, got it, not gonna take her old computer. I'm just guessing with the Windows 98 thing, I'll see if she has XP.
Her computer is older than mine. About 8 years or so.
And when you ask if her computer is equipped with wi-fi, I don't think it is. So you mentioned a router.
So am I to understand that when you connect two desk top computers together so both can go on the internet, you need a router??
Am I correct?
I thought you just run a wire from one computer to the other and they BOTH could run off of the one modem. I'm wrong, right?
lol
I'll get this stuff in my brain some day.
Want to know what I do when all this goes to my brain?
I walk over to my sprout shelf and talk to my sprouts. Nothing more relaxing than doing that.
