Or, more likely, the racing yacht is the reason you can't afford it...

Got it in one!

Also, I've tried all I can think of to get my tape drive running in 98- and I'm no slouch when it comes to hardware and OS's. It just doesn't work, and HP have stopped supporting it. (FWIW, it's a HP Colorado 5Gb IDE Travan drive.) I don't mind, I prefer 95 to all the 98 cutsie stuff anyway. Web view folders! Gag!
