Paul_Ma, Re: Actually those 386 and 486 are quite useful. You can set up Linux on them and set them up as firewalls instead of buying a router. I haven't experimented one bit with Linux yet. Don't know squat about it (yet). Actually the 486 is useful, I still have the programming environment (compiler, make files, source and libraries) for some commercial DOS (DOS extended) stuff I did in the early 90's. Though I haven't needed to use it for years, it's nice to know it's there. BTW, how's college going, learning lot of things? Kindest regards, CrazyMan
