Yup agreed but at the time, was a lot of bang for my buck although now the same configuration would cost less! I do have a box with a 500MHZ motherboard and it has isa and pci slots both and lots of room in it. Guess I could turn that into a Linux box but bought it for beta work.

One thing I don't like about compaqs is you cant upgrade them. I got one with only 2 PCI slots. One of my 486s has 5 isa slots, three filled with network card, sound, and parrellell port. They don't make computers like they used to! _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
