Win98 is soon to be (if not already) obsolete, and its sale is long ago
discontinued. Assuming that his machine meets the hardware
requirements, a better choice would probably be Windows XP (Home
Edition). As I recall, XP has better backwards compatibility than ME
does, although 5+ year old software is more the exception than the rule..
If his PC came with Win98, then his hardware may barely work with much
recent software.
In which case, a new PC running Win XP can be had for just a few hundred
bucks nowadays, and will provide far better performance and reliability.
