Running the Scanning Electron Microscope on 98SE, just fine, cannot be 'upgraded' because of custom hardware/ software.

Similar situations with a lot of lab equipment here.

Yeah, I don't know what I was thinking when I said that.

My dad runs something like 98 on his fleet of PCs in his house. He's got this whole system going of cloning a dozen hard drives, and just rotating through them on some schedule, so if one fails, he has all these dupes backed up. I'm not really sure of the details, but it makes sense to him. I don't think he has a single PC with a closed up case. They are all open all the time so he can swap stuff out easily.
