This list is great, if anyone has a need it will be fulfilled; all you need to do is ask. The guy giving me a monitor has 4 others available to give away.... all you need to do is ask.

Would anyone happen to have a computer on which Linux will work they would be willing to part with? It can be a Windows 98 box for all I care! I gave my b rother a ride home today and he gave me his non working computer. So I brought it home and plugged it in. Nothing! No post... no beep... not even the flicker of a light indicating life. I'm thinking that it could be the power supply (he was having power surges) but it might be the 'soft switch' (this computer is from '99). If it might be power supply and someone has one could I test out my theory?.... specs: compaq power supply part number: 124892-001 input= 115V~/9A, 230V~/5A output= +5V===/22A, +3.3V===/14A -- :-)~MIKE~(-: -- :-)~MIKE~(-:
