<DIV>I am still using Win 98 2nd ed. Do not need to partition. Just
get it out of the computer to an Iomega disk or what</DIV>
<DIV>ever. If they take your machine, they get the soft ware,</DIV>
<DIV>but that can be replaced. Had an accounting office who</DIV>
<DIV>did not keep back up disk copies, and bingo - the thief</DIV>
<DIV>got not only their machine, but their client's files.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You can also get an inexpensive back up program to </DIV>
<DIV>disk or CD. in addition to regulary backing up specific</DIV>
<DIV>program files.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Also helps when your hard drive goes to never never land.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>One question. Why did they change from a good CPM</DIV>
<DIV>base to DOS the dummy base?</DIV>
