Tech question

[Cliff & Pam Wheaton]

Hello techies! I got my iPod a couple of weeks ago:) My poor old  relic 
of a computer (Pentium 2/windows 98) will NOT run USB 2 or iTunes at 
this point. Is there any other way I can load this thing? I'm being told 
I do not need the iTunes to do this. If so, what program(s) will work?
I'm hoping to replace this relic of a computer before Christmas, but I'm 
not sure if I can yet. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for the help!
Pam
