I'll check it ou when I get home, John. This old windows 98 machine on
dial up doesn't brew very well.
For $300 you could get a new, modern, capable computer...- Hide quoted text -

Oh I know, Harry. And it's not the money but for no more than what I
use this machine for, it suits the needs just fine. Besides. I just
bought a used Compaq FS 600 monitor screen about 6 months ago for
$15.00 at the pawn shop.
If I got a new machine I'd have to ditch the monitor which means money
lost and more waste for the trash pile. So, I know I'm not putting
money back into the economy, but then again, I'm helping to save the
environment!
I know. Tom says I'm cheap. but I consider myself to be sensably
frugal. or as Don said. "The Scottish would call it "thrifty."
?;^ )
The money you think you are saving is more than overcome by the
inability of your gear to perform to any reasonable standard. And yeah,
I'd hate to ditch a $15 monitor! Send it to...loogy. In fact, send the
whole kit and caboodle to loogy. :)
Lenovo has some neat new laptops coming out, and at very low prices.
Lenovo is the chinese company that used to manufacture IBM's thinkpads,
and then bought the whole operation. They still make decent laptops. I
hate to recommend a chinese company, but more and more computer
manufacturing/assembly is being done there, and it's almost impossible
to avoid. To the best of my knowledge, there are no more laptop and
desktop PCs actually manufactured in the USA, and very few in Japan or
Korea.
My new Mac has pieces and parts from everywhere. The monitor is made in
Korea and the WD hard drive comes from Singapore. If you ordered one
just like it today, the monitor might come from Vietnam and the hard
drive from Malaysia.
