Totally off-topic,

But what kind op computer setup do you guys use? Although I like Apple a lot, I stick to PC’s right now. We have 2 desktops and one laptop (used by my wife), all are in a wireless (54 Mbps) network, with separate wireless print server and two 160 GB USB discs on a LinkSys USB device (for back-up storage). Printer and scanner are by HP. PC’s are by Packard Bell, HP and Dell. 4 Mbs Internet access and IP telephony through a cable modem. (We don’t use regular telephony anymore). Just curious to what you are using, that’s all.

Frans.

I have a Dell Dimension 3000 with a 160gb hard drive and 500 memory. It has a 19" digital Flat Panel (for T&A shots) Dell printer, it was free and a CD and DVD drive. IT was our Christmas present to each other last year. We are also running a cable modem. I wouldn't have anything else. It's lightning fast.
By the way Frans, my wife's maiden name is Franz.
