My housemate picked up one for $300 _including_ tax in April.[512 MB
RAM 60 GB hard drive. 2.x GHz Athalon processor. Tower design. 1
floppy disk, 1 CD Burner]
Possibly significant points:
* No operating system or programs were installed, or included;
* No monitor;
* No network card;
* WinModem included;
So in this day and age, is that a useful computer???
Darn Right it is! When I buy a computer, the first thing I do
is delete Windows and install OS/2... well, in these days, it's
eComStation which is the latest incarnation of OS/2. Not having
an operating system means I'm not paying for something I'll never
use.
