LOL that just reminded my of my pc a xt with 640 kb ram and a massive hdd
10 gig the salesman said I'd never fill it ... oh a mono screen all for
just $2300 I later upgrade the screen to a fantastic 14 vga colour wow for
another $ 900 bucks
I tired to use it as a boat anchor but is didn't have enough weight and my
boat drifted off :)))
If you happen to see a red 40 ft 1 tonner drifting out there with a rusty xt
attached to the anchor rope please return it ...
Regards David
Gee i miss old girl ( the xt that is)
