Hmmm, Replying did not give me your email address to reply direct. I will put a chat in and hopefully not upset anyone.
I finally broke down a bought a new computer for the kids this Christmas (PIII,1Ghz,20gig). I got tired of hearing "We need a Pentium to run this game." :). The new computer came w/DVD so I hooked it up to my TV/ Stereo. Then I stared playing some tunes and it sounded great. Then I got the crazy idea to rip my cd collection and use PC as a Jukebox. "MP3's don't take up too much space" I though (famous last words). Anyway, when I was done ripping my CD collection, I found out that I had loaded up the 20 gig hard drive w/ about 14 gig of music. 14 gig of music + Bloated win XP + a few games = a full HD and no more room for the kids. Soooo... Now I looking to find a home for the "Music Library" and the Unisys looked like an Ideal place. The old 486 can serve up compressed mp3's across the local net in plenty of time to be played without skipping. Hit me off list at [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you need to.
