I've got a stack of older computers in the "work" room that have everything from 512MB to 10Mb HD's that I'm trying to con, er, briber, er, talk some bright kid from the computer science department at the University here into making into a server/storage farm for me. I've got this thing about tossing out anything that I can scavenge into something else. Now if I could just use those Oh So Powerful 4Mb RAM chips I paid almost a weeks pay for a few years ago in something... I think the tip about DVD's for storage is a great idea. I have to get my Presario 2100 laptop to the shop so I can get the DVD reset....someone in the household clicked on the regions button until the DVD quit working and Compaq wants me to pay them to reset it...and I guess at that time I'll purchase the software to burn DVD's. As always, great info here in the forum!
