    I have a Lappy P2 400Mhz and a P2 450 (I think) on SOB. I also have a 486 75Mhz in bits in my dads house. Thing cost me IR£1100 back in 96/97. Thats about €1400 equivalent. IN todays money, perhaps €1600

    EDIT: Acid, that price was from those pirates at 'Compustore'. I'm sure you might have heard of them.

    I have a part time Mac Power Book Bronze w/ 128 ram. will do one WU a day (if they are small ones).
    On the other hand just got my x2 4600+ in trade and can not wait to put that in and see what it will eat up. Then I can move the 3200+ down the line and dedicate it to WCG

    I thought when I got my P3 500 to 550 I was the shiz back when I got my 386DX it was the shiz. Now it is less than a good type writer
