If you /want/ a newer PC that's not been scrapped,
I have a dual
Athlon MP 1600+ machine in the garage. It worked, it just very
occasionally hard-reset for no apparent reason. It's been extensively
cannibalised - now it's just a motherboard in a case - but if you want
it it's yours. I can probably find you graphics, sound, hard disks,
optical drive, PSU and ancillary cabling.
That is SUCH a machine! With linux, I doubt Tony will have something
against that :oD
Lets' start a campaign: "A modern PC for Tony. Tony using Linux" :oD
