It all depends on how the spreadsheets calculate ROI.

I am looking very hard at my collection of junk. So, now I have 6-7 CDROM
drives, too.

One computer I bought for $50 at a church thrift store had a very very
nice 17 inch monotor, nice bright screen, nice colors...hmmmmm...might
even switch that in as my "usual" computer. 450 mHz. 1/4 gig RAM. 8 gig
HD, more than I need. It came with XP on it and I tore that PoC off so
fast it wasn't funny. Only bad thing: 17 inch monitors are very heavy and
even more bulky than my usual 14 inch monitors.

And, I've got at least ten spare drives, too.

tsk, tsk...too much.
