If you bought a new PC with Windows ME installed, or if you wiped a
machine clean and installed Windows ME on it, it was probably at least
usable. But an *upgrade* from Windows 98 SE to Windows ME pretty much
guaranteed an unusable system. I ended up throwing out Windows ME and
dual-booting the machine Windows 2000 Professional and Red Hat Linux 7.0.
