Klaatu: not the Tom Corbet space...

Klaatu: not the Tom Corbet space patrol, this is a different thing.

Yeah, finally decided to screw it and bite the bullet (to mix my
metaphors a bit) and get the damned thing. Reality is, if you wait for the
next Big Thing, you'll never buy anything. I'd gotten paralyzed, and finally
just figured to do it.

Going for the Dell Dimension 90mhz Pentium, 32 megs ram, 17" monitor (.26
mm resolution), 3x CD Rom, 2 1-gigabyte drives, 2 floppies, IDE controller,
soundblaster 16, peavy speakers, trackball keyboard, and a bunch of other
stuff that's pretty much maxed out the system. #9GXEPro video card with 2
megs memory (option of getting 2 more megs). It's got everything short of
warp drive, and that only because it wasn't available.

We'll see how long this one lasts....
