Anyone want a free firewall or web server? ------------------------------------------------------------------- DDDD David Kramer http://thekramers.net DK KD DKK D DK KD Pretense and adversity are inversely proportional; DDDD Adversity reveals the true nature of all things. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 26 Feb 2002 00:00:10 GMT From: Matt Emmott <hardware at jerkychew.com> Newsgroups: ne.forsale Subject: Free* 486-based PCs I posted this one a long time ago, but due to some personal issues I didn't have time to deal with them. Now I do. I have 12 486-based PCs that I bought at an auction quite some time ago. They were from a now-defunct company called GreenPC. GreenPC would refurb older PCs, install their custom OS onto them, and sell them as little Internet machines. All of the PCs were in sealed boxes when I got them. I only opened them to take inventory. I didn't go through many of them, and I don't want to. I just want to get rid of them. Here are the specs: 486es, I believe they are all 66MHZ DX2s, but I'm not sure Somewhere between 4 and 16MB of RAM. Internal modem, unsure of the speed PS/2-based mouse and keyboard ports Floppy drive Unsure of HD space... probably around 300-500MB No mouse or keyboard. Some have power cords, some don't Sealed copy of the 'NewDeal OS' - some kind of GUI operating system that runs over Caldera DR-DOS, I think. Desktop profile - no towers All PCs are packed in styrofoam, in a cardboard box Inventory: 10 Compaqs 1 AT&T 1 IBM Here's where the free* part comes in. I'm in Franklin, MA. If you come and get one (or some, or all), they are free. If you want me to meet you somewhere, there's a $10 charge to cover my gas and time. If I meet you somewhere, it's $10 no matter how many you want. Email me with any questions. -Matt
