USB question

Does anyone know how to tell whether a Windows 98 installation includes USB support or not?*

I have a vague memory that USB support was included in W98 SE and also in SP2, does that sound right? But should there be an easily-spottable item relating to it in the control panel, or the system properties tab, or something like that?

(This is for a relative's PC at some distance from here, as you probably guessed.)



* There are no prizes for saying "Plug in a USB device and see if it detects it," because the PC in question has no USB ports.

192.com maps

I see that 192.com has launched a maps / directions service, to compete with MultiMap / StreetMap / Google Maps etc. Good luck to them...

The first test route I entered, from this house to our old place, gave me a set of directions that, while pleasingly direct, involved going the wrong way up several one-way streets. More homework required methinks!
