The better question is how is he going to do anything useful with photoshop on a PC running win 98. Or where someone who refuses to use a modern OS got Photoshop lol
I own computers with Windows 7, XP Pro, Me and 98SE. The 98SE is used as a stand alone (not networked) to control precision cutting equipment. The manufacturer will not upgrade the software without new equipment being purchased. The equipment would not function when XP attempted to run the program in the 98SE mode (neither Vista or 64Bit Windows 7 will recognize the software). I'm not going to run out and purchase new software, new laser printers, new scanners, and new cutting equipment because Microsoft believes my computer has passed a useful service life or they need to sell a new OS.
I need the parallel port. I need the serial ports to operate expensive equipment.
I still retrieve data from 3.5" floppies, 100mb Zip, and 2gb Orb drives.
Do something useful? I make a living. Is that good enough for you?
