btw, my PIII is alive! After the prev entry, I asked my father, and it turned out that it was "dead" cos he cannibalised it for parts a while back. And well, erm.. there's no RAM left inside. I looked in, and oh oops, I didn't notice the first time round.. no RAM.. hmmm
Anyway, couple of days ago he put some RAM in, so yesh, it's alive and kicking.. booted it up and felt nostalgic seeing the windows 98 startup .. there's an 8GB harddisk, not too bad .. well, when i'm free, i shall get down to installing ubuntu and see if i can have a personal networked jukebox (see Jinzora).. heehee..
