Replying to a message of bob klahn to BOB ACKLEY:

 WS>>> I might even start up a board sometime down the road.

 BA>> It's certainly possible.  This system is running on a
 BA>> 486/66.

 bk>  I guess my 486 DX/100 is overpowered.

The SCSI HD in the box died last Sunday morning (C: drive).  While I have
a house full of computers it took me until about an hour and a half ago to
get one up and running.

The 'new' box is a Compaq Deskpro that somebody threw in the trash (I literally
got it out of a scrap metal yard) because it wouldn't power up.  The power button
on the front of the machine died, that's all that was wrong with it - and I replaced
it with a power button I'd salvaged out of an old Gateway box, it ain't pretty but it
works just fine.  PIII/256MB of RAM and a 10GB HD (with Windows 2000 Professional
installed).  I pulled the 10GB HD out and replaced it with a couple of smaller ones I
had in stock.  I may find a use for W2K Pro some day and don't want to have to BUY
it.  It's just a wee bit faster than the old box...
