It's actually a Compaq. My brother-in-law gave me this one when he upgraded, and I think it's worth pretty much what I paid for it. I'll never have another Compaq. I am quite pleased with the performance of Linux on it, though.I have been writing a few tools, and getting my hand back in. I've been stuck in Windoze far too long. Hah! When I spell-checked this, Pegasus noticed "Windoze", and one of it's suggestions was "Wienie". Thanks for the help. Larry -- O Sibili, Si. Ergo Fortibus es in ero. O Nobili! Deis Trux. Vatis inem?
