Ann, I feel for you, however, I think it's time for you to move into the 21st Century. It may be time to finally upgrade your system to WIN XP, upgrade the computer or maybe buy a new one. I know it's tough for you financially - it was tough for me when I did it a couple of years ago, but it sure made my life more pleasant and allowed me to work on the things I needed for business and for enjoyment. Prices of machines have come down a lot, and maybe you can find a good used machine for just a few hundred dollars, maybe even less.
Maybe some of the technically inclined on the list can help cobble together something for you, but IAC, and however you do it, it may very well be time to leave 98SE behind. And just a suggestion based on your DSLR debacle - don't make a move or buy anything from a local shop in NYC until you've talked with your friends here, and have thrashed out all the possibilities. Just my 2-cents, and worth almost every penny I suppose.
