    He can use this but he won't be able to use iTunes. Part of joy of having an iPod is how it automatically synchs to iTunes. You don't have to manually download songs to it. Plus he won't be able to use the iTunes music store.

    Just upgrade to 2000 or XP.

    If he were to upgrade i would probably suggest 2k over XP as its not as demanding. The fact that his computer has 98 installed suggests its not the most powerful thing out there.
