It's so simplified I'm having a difficult time setting
up a browser with the OEM software package :-(
There doesn't appear to be an option to enter
your own mail, news, and identity except for a 
automated piece of crud software that dials a number
no longer in service.
I've got to find a way to download Netscape 7.0 
so I can function until I get a full featured Linux operating.

I've gotta wonder... in the last 6 years I've spent exactly
3 dollars and 20 cents on computer equipment for a CMOS
battery. Old 486 croaked and I find a later revision 
matching motherboard box in the trash walking the dog,
that one croaks and a similarly rescued Pentium box 
is brought to life at no cost.
Now as I'm looking to buy more RAM for the Pentium one
I get a 433 MHz Celeron dropped on my doorstep with 96 Meg.
of RAM! Even as this keyboard is wearing out someone just happened
to offer me one, again while walking the dog and that keyboard is now
on the H.P.
You know I've met more people and woman walking my gentle macho 
Pit Bull than ever was a draw with any of my superbikes?
Soon to change though with regards to spending.
I want a hardware modem, I want a new hard drive and I must
ASAP get some EDO RAM off of Ebay for this older beast
with which I'm more familiar. Reverse order on priorities.
I mean just glancing at my H.P. handbook and 98 manual there's stuff
about watching T.V. from the video card and using up to nine 
monitors on the one box!
