Threaten to post photos.




Should be worth at least a buck from Tim. *




Actually my computer was built in about 2003 and is loaded with

windows 2000 and my monitor is a Compaq FS740

No, there's nothing really 'modern' about it. it doesn't even have a

cd burner in it. But it's good enough for what I do with it.



Somewhere around here I still have a laptop that has AOL 3.0 on it

from the early 90's.



One thing about ancient monitors is that if it gives me any problems,

I go to the local pawnshop and get another for about $5.00 and I'm

good to go, again.



But I did move into the 21st century a bit. I splurged and got a new

printer/scanner. a HP "Officejet J4540 All-in-one"



Good for you... a year and a half ago I purchased an HP Officejet 6500A and the thing works great. Only trouble..i don't print enough and the large ink cartridges are coming up to their 'best before' date.
