just a brief defence of 486 machines, I am a mac fan but I also have several
486 machines that are quite useful... The only thing you need in an old 486
to make it useful is lots of ram, if you can squeeze 32 megs or more in you
can run a nice distro of linux...
I do however love my mac LC with 10 megs ram and an ethernet card... &
system 7.5.3 although i'd like to find the update to 7.5.5 as I hear it has
open transport built right in.
