For those who asked, the end of the conversation with the boss's daughter went like:

"Well, we've got this old Windows 98 machine and my dad said to just clean it off and reinstall windows on it so I thought I'd uninstall windows and then reinstall it."

"Ok..[explains how to wipe and reinstall windows]. What was your second question?"

"Where can I find a copy of windows 98?"


Today she asked, "Soooo... If I installed Windows 98 First Edition but used the second edition key, would that be bad?"

"Why, what's going on?"

"It's giving me this weird blue screen thing."

*sigh*

You haven't tried to install XP on an "old windows 98 machine" before, have you?

The OS is... slightly too "robust" to work with anything like efficiency.

if you wait a few moments, your desktop will load. Really. Keep waiting.
