My dad in France had Win98 on a 128M box (though it might have been 
Win98 SE). Fair made my teeth grind as the hard drive clattered away 
when he tried to fire up "Word."

Very nostalgic old W98. It was around the time it was announced I did my 
first Linux installs (RH5.0 or something like that).

I think the W98 TCP/IP stack put an end to the Linux "ping of death." 
Very naughty but fun while it lasted ;o)
