Re: A TCP/IP Question:

Ya know, I keep hearing about people going to the thrift stores and finding 
all of this computer equipment, but I have yet to find one piece of anything 
more technologically advanced than a typewriter!  I've decided to take 
advantage of the fact that my job has me traveling all over creation and start 
staking out thrift stores in other cities while I am there to broaden my 
chances of finding stuff!  I wish that old Mac plus that I have still worked 
as it would probably work for the job, but the power supply and monitor are 
both shot in the thing and somehow I think that it would cost much more than 
it is worth to get it back up and running...
