Original       Pee Cee examples are pretty much hen's teeth. Even XP boxes are getting hard to       find. Haunt eBay, post a "Wanted" on Craig's List and/or your local freecycle.       Talk to the people at the local Computerbanc, or a computer/electronics       recycler. I used to buy PCs by the skid at my State Surplus Property auction.       I'd mine them for hard drives and power supplies and send the cases and       everything but the circuit boards to the scrap yard.              Good luck with your search. But, I fear that what I think you are looking for       has long since been sent to China to be reprocessed into Macintrash products.       Or Lenovo stuff.              ... America is the only place where people go hunting on a full stomach.       --- MultiMail/Win32 v0.49        * Origin: Check Out Doc's QWK Mail Via Web BBS > DocsPlace.org (1:123/140)    |
