The system my friends call...
THE MAINFRAME
Before you read any further, I have upgraded my system multiple times since
I wrote this page on 06-14-1997 and haven't had time to update the page. I now
have at least two PIII-500 systems and two notebook computers. Rather than take
this page down until I can update it, I've left it up in case you find the links
useful. I'll update the page when I get a chance.
