Only thing keeping me going now.

I setup Linux on that drive and now it's so slick 
I've a full multimedia box with audio record - playback
and full video including DVD movie capability all on 
a 1999 Gateway Performance Pentium 450 MHz.

A big public thankyou to Jay Emrie and Charles Angelich as well.

The computer, monitor and assorted misc pieces were all legacy or salvaged
for free but without youse three guys I'd just be stuck here staring 
at the ceiling with nothing at all to do.

The kindness of others provided hard drive, modem and 
the Linux OS installation CD that made it all possible.

Several in the Linux echo also provided hints and some tech support
until I overcame the *nix intimidation factor and was able to solo
with this operating system.
