I 'm a novice at all of this, have no trouble getting around the computer or the web. I have put a few hardware items in a number of computers. My first was a Commadore 64 which I really enjoyed and where I got my feet wet. The guitar and work kept me away from it for a few years. Then when The Web hit and modems got faster the bug hit again. Since then I have had four computers in roughly ten years, from a Pentium 60 to my present I am running a Sony Vaio Pentium IV 2.53 GHZ, 512 megs ram, GeForce MX 440 , DVD-RW / CD-RW HP ScanJet 5p and , Sony Personal Entertainment Display SDM-V72W/w, Cable Modem well you get the picture. Ok...Ok.., sorry about the Rant. Everyone take it easy and I'll see you on the web. Check out the Computing page for links.
