bucks!


I got a Compaq FS7600 monitor a few months ago for $15.00


So now I have internet access at the shop again.


Man, 45 bucks and I'm ready to go!


WOOO HOOOO!


Was your old OS Win98?

Does it have spell check??!!!


Well, on direct posting on Google Groups... NO.

But I'm thinking of loading Mozilla and it does have a spell checker,
sort of....

But I get tired of looking at the little red lines under words and
just hit "send" anyhow.

There are some great deals on P4 machines with licensed copies of XP
Pro on the surplus web sites ($80-100). (Gearxs, PCSurplus etc)
The XP is worth that by itself.They come with the disk wiped clean but
you can call the manufacturer with the S/N and get the factory load CD
for a few bucks. Mine also came with the Windoze office suite and that
is worth about $100 too. The disk is pretty much a one click
installation and you get a new machine..- Hide quoted text -

I'll kep tht in mind, but for now, I figguh I'm good to go for about
the next 5 years or so.
