Or just search ebay for 486 and narrow the search down to computers using the "matching categories" section on the left. |

Some of my cheapskate friends buy old hardware at the monthly county auction. Flea markets are another good source.

Please control line length. They should not exceed 72 chars. Too bad if your client is broken. It should automatically wrap at the right margin. No it should not. That would mangle text (web links, for example) that the author intended to remain longer or any other particular formatting that was purposefully used. The solution is clear. As with any other medium, the author is the one who is composing the message and this, like with any more basic typing task, involves setting page width or continually hitting the carrage return. If someone didn't "feel" like hitting a carrage return or stopping at the end of a viewable page, would this be acceptible to an employer, the IRS, a school examiner, a court document? Absolutely not. Contemporary monitor resolution determines a "viewable page" which is a boundary for line breaks for the author. It is not reasonable to burden the reader with recomposing something just as it would be rejected in any of the other aforementioned contexts if the text went beyond the end of the viewable page. |

And of course, a dead main battery, at least one of which is nearly impossible to find a replacement for. Consider it a fact of life. |
