Well, folks, as you might have gathered from the thread topic, I'm posting this from my 'new' IBM Pentium-II box I picked up a few weeks back. I'd been having zero luck getting any of my old external modems to work with this system, but yesterday, I managed to find a cheapie WinModem at the local Goodwill for $5, and, after some serious trials and tribulations getting the modem's drivers installed on the system (had to download the drivers on my PowerBook G4, and then somehow get them to the PC - I ended up creating a network between VirtualPC with Win2k and the Win98 IBM box... whew!), I finally got it setup and working with my crappy Earthlink Dialup service... and I'm posting from the IBM!
Don't get me wrong - I'm hardly abandoning my Mac-loving ways, but it's fun having another modern(ish) system to play around with...
Okay, that's about it.
Later!

As long as you call it 'fun', more power to you. I wouldn't call it fun.

Space Boy, glad to hear you got it up and running!Now, here's the key to keeping it stable: Never ever update IE. In fact, don't use IE. Use Netscape or Opera. Also, don't use Windows Media Player. 68K's liberated: 4

What's so bad about that? My Classic II was an IW type machine for a while, doing the exact same thing. "**** em" - Jobs in regards to customers
