Thanks to the Gentlemen who were gracious enough to give me equipment. 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.<br>

Hey all; as you may know I am trapped in the world of windows at the moment but would like to break free of the M$ shackles. 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&#39;m thinking that it could be the power supply (he was having power surges) but it might be the &#39;soft switch&#39; (this computer is from &#39;99). If it might be power supply and someone has one could I test out my theory?....<br>
