In some way it was only a way to find out how old pc you can use today.
I bought it from a friend a weekend in the city, for a drink... including
monitor.
But I Žam still sure that it is useful for something, it is just a question
to find out what you are going to use it for.
I know that it is not a multimedia pc, but nowadays I am still missing that
the software developers, were making their programs just a little bit more
effective.
Yes. it is right that almost anyone can afford a 500 MHz PC. But a new car
has not been outranged in about 3 years.
And these old PC worked actually good those days, when there was people who
knew that the power and disk capacity was not unlimited.
But , anyway. It has been a nice diskussion. And I will keep on trying
anyway...until i give up... then I will trash it. It has not been too
expencive for mee.
