<<<I am thinking of upgrading to one [450 and another 64 megs of memory ] from a 233 Pentium I.... Total cost including tax about $450. Is this worth it? What would the speed advantages be? Say.... for Internet use?>>>

My web pages do seem to load a bit faster, but I'm not sure that is due to the Pentium III over the Pentium 133 that I had before. Are you talking about upgrading the guts of your system or getting a new one? From what I've seen if you are talking $450 you might as well go a couple hundred more and get a new system. I went with a new one and I guess I'm glad. I'm still getting too many "fatal exceptions." Not sure whether that's Windows, software, or the hardware. Mine is a Presario. I can sure see how they have become cheaper. The computer I had at work you could park a truck on; this one wouldn't hold up a tricycle.

Thanks for not taking offense at my good natured jibes on catch and release. I don't do any kind of hunting where I can't eat the kill. Which is precisely why I don't hunt ducks or geese. I don't like duck, and since I also enjoy watching them I leave the hunting to others. I don't hunt grizzlies either for the same reason; however there was a time when I would have. It is good to avoid killing them even in cases of self defense. One should be prepared for it nonetheless. We carry 375 H&H rifles on the job, but the paperwork required if you use it is deterrent enough. Also, it is difficult to get back into the federal building since after the Murrah Building was bombed we now have armed guards and a metal detector in front of the elevators. They don't understand.
