This message is coming from a refurbished HP I picked up at
computergeeks.com, its not a super-fast, great computer, (Celeron 667,
128M, 15G, CD-RW)  but it did cost under $200 with shipping.  And it is
a big step up from anything else I had around the house, I had become
very dependant on the great hardware I had access to at work.

On a side note, I am running RedHat 7.2 with Ximian GNOME on the box and
its very snappy.  I had to boot into Win2k a few weeks ago to use Word
to convert a document, and it was noticibly slower.  Between the speed
difference, my multiple desktops Evolution and Galeon I haven't missed
windows for quite a while.

Peace.
