Dale, What do you do to your computers to eat them up like that? *GRIN*
I have one machine at home that has been running since 1999. It has 384 MB of RAM and a 650 MHz processor, and runs like a champ. I had to get pretty ruthless about making sure only the absolute essential services and programs start on boot, but for the basics, it runs no slower than my spiffy machine with two gigs of RAM, and a 3 GHz processor. Of course, it would definitely run slow on other tasks, but for basic email reading and web browsing, it does fine. It is now mostly just a file server on my network. Lenny, seven fans on a machine! That's impressive. Our big honking database servers here at the university don't have that many fans. Must sound like the space shuttle lifting off. -- Blue skies.
