Well there is the step-daughter 16, the stepson 13, and the little one 3, who 
is far to darned clever for his size  he plays on the computer next to me 
most evenings.

Yes, it seems to "touch" on the drives except the floppy drive,
no video, no 
beeps, figure the mobo or CPU is gone, then I have another here with the same 
symptoms, but that is a brand new mobo, with a possibly suspect CPU, board 
will handle up to 450 - 500 MHz CPU's. I don't have any spare CPU's or 
motherboards to test with. The RAM 32 MB stick works fine in my ASUS P2B99 
mobo.

Was thinking of putting it next to my pre-amp, using it to record LP's and 
then save them over the network to another HDD that has space to store the 
files, before writing them to CD-ROM, seems it is going to be a while before 
I grant myself that luxury. :-) until then I will have to keep on lugging my 
puter to the Hi-Fi, record the LP's, then lug the 'puter back to it's normal 
position, and then do the required processing before putting them on to CD.
