There's more to it than that, albiet in little ways. Who gets sound? Who Gets floppy/cdrom? I'll admit that I don't hang out in internet cafes, so those may not be available anyways normally. Plus, you mention VGA and monitor which you'll need anyways. I'll not trying to compeletly tear down the idea. I don't think it's a terrible one, to be honest. Although if it were me, I'd save myself the hassle and either build a low-grade PC, or buy a network computer (about $700-$1000). -- Matt Piechota _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
