Got out of work at about ten. bleah. too late. Then Suzy calls me up, to get her a mouse from the parts morgue at work... I do, and help her set up her "New Computer"... a pokey little puppy fully loaded with windows 3.1 and a 1200 baud modem. "How soon can you get me on the internet?", she asks. I bite back my first thought...(As soon as you get a computer, I'll help you out!) as The poor woman paid $300 for this thing. I told her that I'd try and dig up a 56k modem and a copy of win95 for her to put on there...but odds look slim. *sigh*

Ah well, I'll help as best I can.

Heck, I don't think so, but I'll try my best... poor thing is a doorstop with minesweeper and solitaire.

Seaworthy? Networthy?

Golly, if she decides to take it on the net, it'll be slow as molasses in January....at that rate, she'll get really pissed from the slowness and throw the machine out the window.

Nope, I don't think it's networthy....

you're right...

*sigh*

I have to find a nice way to tell her to scrape $400 together and get a box of worth.

hmm... diplomacy...
