I have 320 grit silicon carbide  I will glue to a thin stiff plastic
piece, Mylar backed so I can wet it a bit on the last pass.
Now I need to hit Ebay and snag some EDO memory becuse
of that bad stick I had.

A day or two down the road as it's no big deal leaving the unit
on with power saver enabled.
Once I fix this nagging problem and increase the memory to
64 Meg. I'll be a very happy camper indeed.
Might even try to snag an MMX processor.
Everything runs very cool in this case.
I've got the money for a hard drive now but will wait a month
and purchase a 56K hardware external modem as well.
Than it's just one small step load Win 95, send a check off 
to Internet Juction saving 100 dollars a year as well as in
all likelyhood eliminating that Linux POP3 problem I'm
currently having. first stop than Zone Labs to snag their
free to non-commecial firewall software. 
A project scheduled for way down the road is to attempt to 
remove the fast UART from the crapped out 486 and replace the 8250
UART in it but that is stretching my current abilities, something
a few years ago I'd have tackled in a heartbeat.
