Hello Wayne - 

--8<--cut 

WC> I see there's a HDTV card that will actually work in this
WC> machine if I merely get an activeX capable sound card.
WC> About the only way I'll be able to get HDTV considering
WC> costs. 

I have no real interest in HDTV. I watch videos now and then
but not a great deal of 'television'. A DVD reader in one of my
machines would be sufficient for that. 

WC> I keep an eye on the classifieds for used computers. Wish I
WC> could do the yard sale thing as friends have gotten
WC> remarkable deals there. 

People will part with some really good hardware once it begins
to give them problems. No one will part with a working monitor
now that they can buy a new computer without a monitor.

WC> Then too I could order a case, motherboard CPU combo and go
WC> from there but that would be a while off. 

Once you have a sufficiently large hard drive the rest is
comparatively easy or so it seems. 

WC>>> I do have one last hard drive in the 486 but it has
WC>>> important files on it so I can't put it at risk by
WC>>> swapping it around. 

->> I wouldn't take the chance either. Something goes wrong
->> every other time I start moving hardware around. :-\ 

WC> Never fried anything until the last few years but if I
WC> exceed a very limited time engaged in moving stuff around
WC> it's a near certainty I've come to acknowledge :-( 

Me too. :-\
