Well, if you were trying to say:
"*I've* never used Windows 2000, but Windows NT, 95, and 98 apparently
resemble it, right?
So when I have a computer with XP, I am certainly lucky because I have small
computer with 98."
then you did fine, except for dropping {lu-}in {'ach rurlaw'...} (*They*
resemble *it*), and the {je} doesn't make much sense in its position:
{*Notebook* je vIghajmo'...).
If you intended to say "I also have..." it needs to go on the other side of
the verb:
{*Notebook* vIghajmo' je...}
"Because I also have a notebook..."
Everything else looks good!
