Sorry to make a thread like this, but it is to partially explain my signature change. I now have a (free) new personal computer of my own, with
1200MHz Socket 370 Celeron
PC100 256mb Micron SDRAM
FX5200 128MB (PCI version)
20Gb WD IDE drive, guessing 5400RPM
and suprisingly enough, Windows XP Home and six USB ports. It is a Gateway desktop from 2002 or so.
I am using my 0(!)ms response time CRT(what does that stand for again?) of 16 inches, at 1152X864.
Now for the amazing story- I went across the street to my friend's house, she had asked me over to help get stuff from their old computer to thier new computer. I just used my amazuzing external USB HDD and transferred the files. Afterwards, her father told me that he was going to toss (nooooooooooo!) the old computer. I gladly took it off his hands, deleted all the accounts and personal information, got rid of the million useless programs, defragged
Scary, i know, and I now have a clean XP machine with Microsoft Word and an Ethernet port.
Clue for the future- always help people with thier old computers.
