...well it was new four years ago! LOL.
I wanted a second PC for another room and I could then network the two computers together, but I didn't want to pay too much money. I decided to go the second-hand route and bought a similar machine to what I have at present, a slightly lower processor speed (P2 350mhz) and it only has a 6.4gb drive but that'll do me for the present. It's got a Zip and also a LAN card as well as cdrom etc.
Now, I know you guys in the US probably use these old machines as target practice but over here there is a sizable market for them! Some of you will faint when I tell you I paid £225 (about $340) for it, and it has a 14 inch screen too!
I think it's great!
