    That's ok. We are giving 10 computers to my church and getting a $15,000 tax write-off. My church is building a computer lab for its members to stay in touch with eachother and have access to things going on within the church.

    free would be correct...minus time spent, swapping mobo's, power supplies, cd rom, hard drives, video cards, ram, network cards and power switches trying to see what worked ...I still got shit everywhere

    I have 3 40 gig drives, one is going in the Mac with a new install of Panther 10.3...but I can't any of them to work as a slave in the PC

    the video card is only 8mb and the monitor is easily 9 years old...it's a little dark

    I keep saying I'm gonna put one together for my parents and 1 for my grandmother she wants to try "the email". If that falls through I'll see what I can't do.
