...taking me on a hellish tour of "msconfig"--an apparently pointless Windows 98 diagnostic tool--he admitted he couldn't fix the machine. He said I'd need to reinstall Windows 98. When I told him I didn't have my Win98 boot disc (a floppy disc that helps kick-start your machine by circumventing the hard drive), he said I'd need to reinstall Windows 95, the operating system the machine shipped with, then upgrade to Windows 98.

...herself, now California bound? It remains to be seen if Starr will allow her to ?tell her story in a cathartic way,? as Ginsburg asked, in exchange for immunity. If so, he says, she will submit to a polygraph lie test. If not, Starr will find it hard to kick-start public interest in his $30 million investigation. Meanwhile, one thing is certainly over -- Ginsburg, taking the advice of the American Bar Association, has promised not to appear on any more talk shows...
