Yes I swore off NAV long ago too, but I have only one question: Are we not scientists? We are NEVO!

Now tell me, whatever happened to punk rock? Nobody shook their hips, just the plungers on their heads!

Well, I didn't expect this to spark such lively debate. I was just blowing off a little steam.
It worked out in the end as I was having a hard time admitting that my 386 was well past its prime. The new PC is blingingly fast (for browsing that is) and stupid cheap. I just need to do something now to make it stop sounding like a 767 on takeoff. I've found a couple of quiet 300w power supplies one of which should take care of that.

You are priceless Fred, since you posted this thread I have been trying to think how many years it has been since I even THOUGHT ABOUT 386 CPU technology, much less questioned the BURNING NEED to UPGRADE. I have come to detest the technology creep as you and I once discussed (yes walking the puppy is still the only truly enjoyable part of my day), due to the intentional progression of obsolescence; however you clearly are a virtual prince of voluntary simplicity. My hat's off to you, and I'm envious as well: you have clearly evaded the creep of Nowhere Man Land. Please enjoy your time off, SK

We have Symantec required for our school network. It's a pain in my butt.

I grew up in a household where throwing something that worked away was a sin. I learned to buy based on need, not want. The only reason I ended up with a 50" screen is because the ex got the TV.
I am quite happy not to be running on the endless consumer/credit treadmill. It helps me sleep at night.
