Hi :) Were you looking for old Sd-Ram the other day? I might have a couple of sticks i could give for just the cost of postage. I was hoping to sell some of it but i'm hopeless at doing that sort of thing. 100MHz is about ok? I have 2 at 32Mb, & about 3 at 64Mb. Any use to you? I thought i had some larger sticks but i can't find them now. My place is a real mess. I have found some very old graphics cards that i would really like to send. I don't think i have time to test if they work but i think they still do. Single vga output, nothing fancy. I would actually really like to get rid of some of these things in a useful way even if i couldn't sell them as that was never likely to happen but was worth a try right? Regards from Tom :)

If I get old machines, I know many people who either need better ones than they got, or cannot afford to buy any system, so even a P-II and a P-III looks good to them, but not the kids. Have a girl who needs any system that will allow her to type up her notes and papers instead of using a library computer or at some friend's place. I am looking for a cheap/used good condition printer for her. The P-II I will be getting in return for the P-III will go to her. Since it is so old and slow, I may have to put Word/Excel '97 on it, if LO is too slow or "whatever". He does not have the money to pay for IDE/PCI cards, and I am all out of them from my scrap box. These machines I get are not really worth buying parts for. If I do not have the need part in my "scrap boxes", then it may not get fixed or upgraded.
