ROFL What about one of those truly classic 14.4 modems to go with it?

Why don't you just build your own computer. The parts are soooooooooo cheap right now. I think it's the lowest it can possibly go. Jump on the wagon before you miss out.
I don't like to buy these big brand name computer because the companies put a lot of crap in your computer when you buy it. For example, they put a lot of their own utilities and software that you don't need. It would be just better if you can install a bare OS and get software from other people.
I agree. All that is left of my original purchase from a dealer is the casing, one small hard drive and the cables. Everything else I have upgraded myself, or had a local company do...so much cheaper
Athlon Thunderbird 1 GIG
New motherboard
224MB RAM
20 GIG HD
32MB Graphics
16MB sound
56K modem
52X CDROM
Practically a new PC all for £600 ish. Parts are so much cheaper now though...
I think a GIG processor is more than enough (for now ) I chose Athlon over Pentium as they are reknowned for being more stable. This is usually because suppliers are generally in the habit of clocking Pentiums, whereas Athlons already run at their optimum capability.
Parachute for sale, like new! Never opened!
Guinness, black goes with everything.
XP...looks cool a lot of cool cow things. other than that it sucks (IMHO) + I spend 5 min. looking for "My computer" on the desktop!
no 98 (2.ed. for a little more stabillity ) still kick some serious butt and 2000 is also ok.
buy whatever Weasel just DONT BUY SKUMBAG (compaq) I will personaly come to the states and beat you up with a rubberchiken
I am getting rid of mine in a month and ohh yes it sucked big time!

Heh. My first computer was an Apple II. No hard drive (what were those?), and we had expanded the Ram to 128K so I could play Castle Wolfenstein on it!
That there; exactly the kinda diversion we coulda used.

Yeah, exactly ----->me in 1984:
"What's a hard drive? Just let me switch these huge floppies in and out of my one disc drive every 5 minutes."
I remember when I got a second(!) drive it was like the ultimate in luxury - I only had to switch discs every 10 minutes - and some people I knew had a cassette drive!
Oh, man! Tape drives! I never trusted those things. Remember the first modems (I saw them at school) - you actually had to put the phone receiver into the cradle!
