<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>John as a side issue to your OS choices, you
mentioned that the free Dell had a bad connection with the power supply. I do
not know your soldering skills but a lot of these computers had similar issues
and 99 percent of the issues came from a broken solder connection at the
power connector inside the computer. ( the black block that you plug the power
cord into is loose) If you have done electronic repairs before it is an easy fix
with some solder and a grounded style soldering pencil of around 25
watts.</FONT></DIV>
