I told not to crank the wind-up handle too fast. <br>That's a delicate piece of complex machinery. <br><br><br><br>

Re:Computer fire

Yup...you know those silver little lines that run around the green colored boards inside the 'puter....they are full of smoke. If you let the smoke out it won't work any more....he let the smoke out...he let the smoke out....<br><br>Gotta love those new machines though. I remember the days before megabyte &quot;anythings&quot;.

Re:Computer fire

Compaq 2400 processer with 400000000000 gigamegs or whatever that stuff is. It's almost as fast as JohnP's truck. It knows what I want before I do. Dual CD drives, sound system and the works. I told the guy I wanted the biggest memory and the fastest he had since it will be out of date before I get it home. Figured I may as well get a jump on the losing edge. Got a 17 inch flat monitor, and an HP scanner, copier, printer, fax, and a few other things I don't know about. I know it was a whole lot of money for a type writer.

Re:Computer fire

Yep, he told me that it had a burner and it does have two CD drives. Makes it easier for duping and stuff. I know reactors man, I don't know computers. I basically wanted something to keep my three checking accounts straight and get to DTR. I think I got that covered.
