... and speaking of internet stuff, I just signed up for Roadrunner
and it will be a week or three before I have a Linux machine that
I'm able to use as a firewall.

Is there any hope for running a Windows 98 machine connected
to the Internet with file sharing enabled and =not= get hacked in
the first hour I'm connected?!?  The machine I was supposed to
be getting in to run all this stuff isn't going to be ready until next
week, so this machine needs to stay running Windows until then.
