Free computers!
I got 2 free computers!
A few days ago my moms boss was getting rid of a few old computers that they wernt using anymore and i managed to get them. my mom works at a mortgage company so i figured they would probibly be crap computers with windows 98 or something on them, well, today when i got the cords for them and got them running i found that they actually have windows xp on them, however both need to have XP reinstalled so now i have to find out were my XP install discs are, either that or i have to borrow a freinds. im not sure what the specs are but they dont seem to be to bad! now if i could just find a use for them....

Yay, neat!

Maybe you can use them, networked, for writing multiplayer / mmo games?

Make sure you grab the system's XP License numbers before you format+reinstall, otherwise you won't be getting XP on there any time soon.

In fact, if it's a corporate license they're on, you probably won't get them running anyway.

first write down the specs, use everest home edition to get them all printed out for you and also make sure you have CD keys for them.

or make a linux cluster server

okay, garand.

You can have my Compaq Presario. My Maxtor external hard drive is sitting on top of it. So its just a computerized place holder.

and hyrule,

you can have my Xbox. Its just sitting on top collecting dust on my DVD player...which is sitting on top of my VHS player collecting dust...and which my VHS player is ...

cheers,

I first said it as a joke for you and garand.

But now....with all this crap in my room to clean.
Books,books,books everywhere. Dozens of DVDs and galores of games...both video and computer games. Lots of dirty clothes everywhere. sheesh...laundry tomorrow

I feel like I'm in or running a used video-book-game store.
No wonder I haven't hooked up my Hydra yet. Nor really gotten that much serious coding done in awhile.
Time for a major clean...a pre Spring clean.

I'll think about it. But its highly possible. Let me think about it.

cheers,
power mousey

ahhhhhhhhhh!!!

true.

I'll sleep on it...but I can't fit on my whole body on the computer.
but the bed is a lot better...even the carpet floor too.

and I'll think and sleep on it-->the matter at hand.

yet, I have to clean and organize my room for awhile....a whole while too.
