<Apropo the other thread about today's tendency to throw out 486s... <as-is, they still run yesterday's games, word processors, educational <apps, etc. for schools, libraries, senior centers, day care centers, etc <It's such a shame this stuff isn't being reused. A 486/33 with <8 megs and Linux makes a perfectly acceptable firewall. Sheesh, I consider my good system with bells and whistles hot and it's a lowly 486DX2/50 with 8meg and 516mb disk! The next ones down from there is a 386dx/33(128k cache) and a 486sx/25(no cache). Scary that I consider what I have pretty adaquate (I run Gcadd, Netscape3+, and a few other heavies). Allison
