Anything on a Win 98 machine is one system crash away from lost.

I only have one PC on our network left running Win-98. (Only because were too cheap to replace it!) I expect it to go to the great beyond any day now.

Good idea to plan that new machine! And its not a bad idea to wait a little bit. With Vista coming out, you might as well wait and get a machine that is designed around Vista. (Unless your one of those Linux techno-Nerds)
