It only has a floppy, and yes, it's a 486. It does have 500 meg hard disk and 20 megs of ram though. Any ideas as to what is realistic to expect out of this machine? I plan to run it as a CLI box only to learn perl, python, C++ and some other stuff on. Xeys ____________________________________________________ Sell on Yahoo! Auctions – no fees.
