Yes, I think I did. Life is like that sometimes.

It's in really good condition. You do have to worry about the cold, I
fried a monitor once over it. two hours warm up if in from the cold, or
condensation forming during the warmup phase can short connections. Not a
pretty sight. Not an issue in lotus land where you are, Ole, but here in
the <hyperbole>sub-arctic...</hyperbole> :-)

heheh, I'm not wiping it that fast. I'm wondering if it's capable of any
form of linux, even a simple kernel.... Gonna set it up as a game and text
machine for now, so I can read text files created here, when this machine
is configuring linux gobbledegook, intended to help me make sense of the
gobbledegook. heck of a word, that. It can keep it's windows until I
actually have a clue what I'm doing!! hehe I like the color monitor
though, nice touch. I may set it up for my dialup isp, though I don't
think I can use a 2400 baud modem, darn sure I can't, might have to use the
freenet. Be nice if I had an alternate address I could use to reach out
and cry for help... :-)
This is the best "computer game" there

brain aches.

That's the actual number of the beast, 666 was not the numeral system
currently in use at the time of the writing of Revelations.
