silly question...what would a person do with it? Yes some people actually do look for
utility in some of their old clunkers (and that one isn't that old I reckon). Could
I...surf the web? Could I...play some games? Obviously the thing could emulate anything on
the planet (I realize that's a possible response, so the sky is the limit). But what
are the practical applications that this thing could be set to use from the get-go?

There is an NEC "supercomputer"
currently
with no bids ($100
starting) on Ebay (140272067125). I would hate to
see
it get
scrapped, but I am not in a position to buy it.
There
are not many
hits on the auction page, so I thought I would
spread
the word
here. Only a few hours left.
I'm going to see if I can grab that. I'll be in
that area with a
truck in a few weeks.
