No one is saying you should leave. It's just that you seem to go off on a
tangent, and no one understands what's going on.
I don't mind though, I think it's funny :)

9x is dead. It's not coming back, and I can't think of anyone besides
yourself who would want it back.
It's a terrible, terrible operating system which is better left dead and
buried.

Here is a good example. 
You started off talking about not giving in, not sure what that was all
about 
The moved onto USB, and swiftly onto FreeDOS, ReactOS and then '98
Then you just seemed to tag the following on to the end

And I understood this post better than most :p

I know a handful of people who hate the NT-based systems and want their 98 
back (or refuse to upgrade past 98 even to 2000 which is a far superior 
system).  They want their legacy support.

Granted, if I could do it I would simply because I'm prolly the only one 
with a snowball's chance in hell of being able to pull it off, who 
actually gives a damn about the 9x series anymore, lol.
