You got a good deal - the Seanix systems my school purchased in 1999 were
Celeron-300s, with 512 MB, 10 GB HDs, CD-ROM drives, and 15" CRT
displays. Crappy Intel display adaptors if I'm remembering correctly.
Win98. I'd be surprised if you got Win ME in 1999 since according to
Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Me) it was released in Sept
2000.

Now if you got that configuration in 2000 or 2001...
