But the CRT display technology is a power hog       and would contribute extra cost to run. The darn thing is pretty heavy too.              The ethernet port seems to be defective. But usb/wi-fi dongle could work.              Sadly, it will need to make a visit to the landfill museum.              --- Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101        hunderbird/60.9.0        * Origin: nntp://rbb.fidonet.fi - Lake Ylo - Finland (2:221/360)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/2 18/200 19/10 203/0 221/0 1 6 242 360 226/16 227/114       SEEN-BY: 229/354 426 452 728 981 1014 230/0 240/5832 249/1 206 317       SEEN-BY: 280/5003 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/200 633/0 267 280 281       SEEN-BY: 633/408 410 412 640/1138 1321 1384 712/620 848 886 770/1       PATH: 221/360 1 640/1384 712/848 633/280 229/426           |
