Hay folks, Not sure where to post this, but figure this might be the place, so if'en you can help, I sure would welcome the info.

Here's what I've got! I have an older labtop that still works to a degree, as long has it is plug up to the power plug and I lub the keyboard contacts everyone in a while. How-some-ever I seem to have lost my Win 98 operation system software and need to reload it because I tried to load MS XP on there and it just cannot handle it. So I need to find someone with some old 98 or Me solfware to get it clean up and running again for my use.

I want to use it to write my book ideas down(SIFI novel, been writing it for five years and about to finish, I have already been partition to write a screne play in parallel for it) while having coffee at the local coffee shops in town where I can found a power plug. Can't afford a new laptop.

I am also looking to get any old version of "Words" which has a writers script layout for writing a book( kind of like how you see a reporter typing out a report colum to go in the paper)

Question? Do you folks know where I can obtain such software or know anyone that wants to sell an older laptop that sill can run off batteries that I might get for a few dollar a months that still works well for my purpose. I need a good display on it and able to download to my present system which has MSXP.

I am all ears for ideas here. God Bless
