Good Luck, Hope you can come back soon!.

BTW, on Ebay you can get complete IBM PC's (older models, 300PL) that are PII-400 for like 110 bucks, with everything but the monitor.

I got a few for my family this way, it was easier and less headaches than me having to build PC's for them. The best part is that they are OEM IBM, so I know they are high quality and not generic crap.

Better than mine... Dell Inspiron 3500 laptop; Celeron 366 baby. 192MB RAM though, so it does alright. Just can't play games.

Eddie, just buy something in the newspaper for like 50 bucks... it won't be stellar but you'll be browsing the forum and word processing no problem.

This computer was made before people could pronouse DOS. I do C, Pascal, BASIC and FORTRAN. I like C the best.
