Since I don't do payroll (only reason for getting the latest version of QB), this old setup just keeps chugging away printing invoices and checks - just wish there was an easy way to get it to print more invoices! The QB database is on my server (Win XP), so is backed up every day. I don't use this office PC for ANYTHING ELSE! If it ain't broke, don't fix it! Windows 98 is just fine on this box. This PC is another example of my philosophy of spreading the load over multiple PC's, never allowing any one computer to get bogged down. They seem to break when asked to carry too heavy a load, unlike the old mid-range computers I used to program. Old war horses like the HP3000 or IBM System/38 could be loaded with a hundred tasks at once and they simply slowed down, eventually finished all the jobs, and never crashed.
