I can't help it. There was a particular wallpaper in Plus! 98 that I really
loved -- a picture of a very well-dressed woman exiting what appeared to be
the plate glass doors of a department store. It just brought back some
memories. I owned Plus! 98 way back when but have since lost track of the CD.
I have tried going to the corbis.com site to request research so that I can
find and purchase the image, but they don't seem to be set up to deal with a
non-commercial entity requesting information like this.

I'm not trying to get a free copy of a copyrighted image. I'm willing to pay
Corbis, or whoever it is that has the rights to this thing. But I'd really
like to find it. Suggestions? Are there any Win98 holdouts hanging out here?

Sometimes you can find a copy of Plus! 98 on eBay. If you like, I still use
Plus! 98 and could help. Get back to me at the following address:

sentientsam at earthlink dot net. I'll send you what you need. It
may be a few days before I am up and running because my office is down for a
wiring upgrade. Bear with me!

I've got old Win 98 and Plus CDs somewhere - it wouldn't be too much of a
problem to install them on a spare box or VM, copy out wallpaper files and
email them to you or put them up on eg Rapidshare. Are they just normal
.bmp/.jpg files, available once Plus has been installed? I don't understand
this Corbis connection - and it makes me worry a bit about copyright, etc.
Can you expand?

Sam,

Are you still able to provide the microsoft plus themes?.. I would love to
have them as well. I like all of them especially the one called fashion and
falling leaves. I hope you can help.

Jimmuh,

Was Sam able to help you?. I have the old one from microsoft plus 98. It
includes Space, science, travel, The 60's etc. I want the other one that
include, fashion, falling leaves, the horror channel, garfield, peanuts etc.
If you have them perhaps we can swap with each other. I've looked all over
the net, even wrote microsoft too and they didnot understand what I was
asking So no help there. Hit me up Jimmuh.

Regards

Terry

Olorin,

That would be perfect. If you can email them to me. They are bmp/jpeg
files once loaded. You just have the them, copy and emal. I believe they
should be keep in a file such as this: C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Plus\Themes. Dont quote me on that though. Or an easier way is to search
for them on the HD. I.E. *. Themes etc. I hope we can help each other out.
That would be great.
