It "only" needs two things -- a faster modem (should be easy and cheap
-- and the SIMMS, which I have no clue about, but will start looking

I think I am still missing some of the ethestic nuances of PC
appreciation. I just want mine to work!

I have no clue ... It just seems like a 120 MB hard drive would be
such a luxury.

Mine was given to me by my former mother-in-law because none of her
kids wanted it. This was enough to make me suspicious of it.

I felt sort of abnormal with a computer sitting at each end of my
desk, but your description makes me feel right at home with the rest
of you.
