However, as an unusually active personal computer user, I benefit from all of the applications Windows supports and all of the hardware which comes with drivers written for Windows. Let me offer, too, (with the hope that it doesn't alienate the Smart People here) that I simply don't care about Windows enough to be swayed by haughty opinions against it. The problem with this thread is that it probably shouldn't have been posted to a non hardware newsgroup... http://quotes.fivegeeks.net/QUOTES-CS-05.html#q123aaa76 -- Bob Eager begin 123 a new life...take up Extreme Ironing! |

wrote: Yeah, I noticed that. I take your point about old laptops, but I kind of also wanted this to be a building project. A couple of my kids like watching me put PC's together. I'd say scrounge for junkers. People are throwing away good ones. I have a machine with a via PM266 something-or-other board, and it's actually a pretty decent board if you don't care about high performance. It's stable and easy to work with. You should be able to get one cheap or free nowadays. It takes a celeron or P4 chip, has integrated sound/gfx, and it's tiny. Charlie |
