My neighbour just gave me a 2.24ghz with 1 gig of 333 ram and a TI 4200.

Im setting it up as an interim machine until I buy a new beast at the end of January.

I helped him earlier this year to move really heavy stuff, ahh nice.
He's marrying an australian girl and taking her back to the states.

Dude, what can't you use 2 computers for! It's really nice to have a second machine sometimes.

You can never have too many machines! I got 4 if you count the laptop. My main one in my office upstairs, another on the coffee table so I can surf the web while I watch tv, and a P133 full of scsi as a file server.

Usually, when someone says they got a free computer, I'm expecting them to say a 486 or something. Nice toy!

Hehe. I just got a free Dell Laptop. It's not the best. 333 mhz processor, 128 megs of ram, but I'm using it to remote desktop my main PC.
