AGGIEZ:
Having major issues with MAMEWAH and Windows '98. Do ya'll know of a fairly cheap way to upgrade to Windows XP or is $100 the cheapest I'm going to get?

Check out Pricewatch and their software section.

If you still go to A&M you ought to get awesome student discounts on MS software. I can talk to my recent-graduate buddy about how he did it. Even if you've already graduated, maybe a friend can get it for you. Either way, you'd have to be a registered student to qualify.

What sort of discount are you talking here? The XP upgrade, as far as I've seen, goes for $90-$100.

I'm talking FULL versions less than $50 - maybe less than $20. I'm a recent graduate of UTPA (another TX school) that bought WinXP directly from the campus bookstore for $6! I dn't know if you'll get the same deal at A&M, but I know it's substantial.
I can ask my CS-degree friend about it tomorrow at work if you like.
