Now wait a minute. She won't have to use the 'little puter.' As a matter of fact, if your going to have the little puter be the server, she should stay off of it! ;-) The ISA slot shortage can be solved by removing the sound card. The server won't need it and you'll have a slot for the new nic (if you can find a 'new' ISA nic!). I haven't finished configuring my old pos as a server yet but certainly isn't the hottest machine I have around. All I need it to do is host a small web site, serve network files and share it's cd burner. Anyone who wants to do real work can just hop on the Pentium II (can you tell I need some new systems?) and use their favorite (linux) apps with access to the internet as well. Summary then -- old puter has cdrom, cd burner, network nic, internet nic and needs a bigger hard drive. I'm thinking about putting the color printer up there but can't decide if it will be more convenient or not at this point. Bottom line -- 'Gosh honey, I love you so much I want you to use your Windows machine -- someplace where guests won't see it. :-)) R ----- Richard L.
