 BK>>>>>  What kinda specs? If they are any good it might
still be worth
 BK>>>>>  it.

 BA>>>> P200 or lower, 64MB or less, 1.2G HDs, very few operable
 BA>>>> CD-ROM drives.  I'm resurrecting the faster ones and
 BA>>>> upgrading when I have the parts on hand, building
 BA>>>> my own network.

 BK>>>  Ok, forget I mentioned it. Better look up recyclers.

 BA>> They do what I need them to do.  After all, this machine is
 BA>> a 486.

 bk>  Oh, I understand that. I have a couple 486's and a couple P1
 bk>  133mhz and a couple P2s I am working around with. However, for
 bk>  selling I would not really expect it to be worth much.

 bk>  I had the impression you have more computers than you can begin
 bk>  to use.

Oh I do, I do.  I have enough computer horsepower out here to run every business in
every city and town in southwest Iowa, plus the various city and town governments,
without raising a sweat.  But I am a pack rat, if something is useable I don't want
to toss it.

I also have far more phonograph records than I can listen to in a
reasonable length of
time.  I could start playing Christmas carols 8 hours a day in August and not repeat
any until after New Years.  There are somewhere around 30,000 records here, 5,600
of which are LPs and sets of LPs; there's a total of over 160,000 cuts of music, from
less than a minute in length to about 30 minutes, most being 2-4 minutes in length.
And more books than I can read in a reasonable length of time, 700 are indexed and
there are 2 or 3 hundred more that aren't - yet; 48 linear feet of that
library are books
on history, 14 linear feet are hard cover Louis L'Amour westerns.
