	Yes, it's very old, over ten years at least so if it isn't dead it
surely will be soon.
	I thought about replacing it but the RAM I have won't work with
anything newer and of course I'll need a          new processor, then
there's the issue of AGP video cards I have... $$$$
I was going to use it for testing, break and fix stuff etc. So I can't
really justify the money for new equipment unless I come up with really
creative excuse.

	That hadn't occurred to me! I'll give that a try too.
