Yesterday, someone successfully outbid me ( and others ) ($88.77) for a Packard Bell Corner Computer on eBay. Congratulations. Although I was really hoping for my fourth machine, it's good to see it probably went to a worthy person. ( At least they had to pay for it. :-) ) I hope they...

I just tried using the master cd to reinstall Comm Central and it did not go. I know that with the Mr. BIOS bios that...

Rescued an incomplete desktop Legend 402CD at the town transfer station (that's the New England euphamism for town dump) today. No CPU, but memory. Case incomplete, so pretty useless. Any interest in some of the parts at the cost of scrap plus shipping? A quick look tells me this is an...
