For verily the World of Computers is surely vast; who can fathom it? Fear not that thou hast only scratcheth the surface as a chick that seeketh seed in the dirt; for if thou hunt and peck with patience, thou shalt find the good seed and shall enter the Cyberworld with a powerful system and with great rejoicing.

How come Micro Center said they have been out of the Pentium III's for 5 months, cause they are back ordered from INTEL, but all the sites I have looked at have them in stock. At least the "Yes" is there ?
They din't sell Western Digital, either. They sell Maxtor.
Prices too high to buy, but was an awesome field trip. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Because "Yes" in "vendorspeak" means "You better call first because our stock manager is still on vacation and nobody else here knows how to put the "no" on our page". Nothing is more frustrating than to order on the Net, only to get a nasty email saying "We'll get to it as soon as our stock comes in". Always call their toll-free number and check first. If they don't provide that service, find a vendor that does.
P.S--the Maxtor's aren't bad for a mid-priced HD, but I've found that the newest WD's are much quieter. There are better, but pricier hd's out there. A noisy hd can be irritating after a while.

May be a leader to get you in and sell P4's.
Go to make money somehow.

That would make me mad ! I guess I'd better make that the first thing I locate.... just in case.
All the sites I've looked at had a 1-800 # so I'll do some calling. If it's really that scarce right now, I might need to snatch one up if I do find it. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
I remember you saying the Maxtors were noisy, bistro....way back.
You may be right Train. Tell you they don't have um, then you settle https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ for the IV.

PIII's are starting to get snatched up because of the falling prices. There are plenty of them still out there--just gotta look. If the sales guy or gal tries to steer you away from the PIII to get the "All New and Improved!" P-IV, then watch it. You have to get a mobo that accomodates the P-IV and they are a little pricey at the present time. (This too shall pass...give them 6 months or so). But the P-IV CPU prices won't be coming down anytime soon. Computer makers, of course, are getting "First Dibbies".
Well, folks, time to say goodnight. Day off tomorrow--gotta get the rest of shopping done. Wife was unable to and still can't--resting well, but still very tired and recuping. Bunch of sleet, snow and freezing rain expected tomorrow--oh joy.
G'nite all.
bistro, I found this maybe it will help down the road. Copy and paste.
Besides Adobe Acrobat, you can also open and edit PDF files in CorelDraw versions 8 through 10, Photoshop 6, and Illustrator 8 or 9. I beleive there may be some other programs for editing PDF listed on the desktop publishing site. http://desktoppub.about.com

Oh JOY ! My Christmas company will be here Wednesday instead of Thursday, https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ so I am in a frenzy now. Wish Mosaic was here to help me clean !
You may not see hide nor hair of me for a while. (....yeah right https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ )
So Qoh and Greengoose1:
What components have you decided on? (just curious and impatient https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ )
Here's my list, sdtech.
Western Digital ATA-66 7200RPM
Motherboard Abit BX 133-RAID ( socket370-type)
In Win S 500 ATX 2.01 compliance Mid Tower 300watt Power supply
Intel Pentium III 866MHz FC-PGA w/256KB
RAM 128PC-133
GeForce2 based or Diamond Viper ultra series Video Card (AGP type)32MB
Modem 56K (not winmodem)
Sound Card -Sound Blaster Live series
Global Win heatsink/fan
....me tooooo https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Morning all, sdtech, my list is the same except I'm still toying with how much memory - I was thinking of 30GB, but 20GB logically sounds better. I can always add 20 more. I didn't have enough time to find your list yesterday I was looking for. It seems like you posted one. And the word impatient is taboo here - don't want to talk about it.
It seems we are all busy with the holidays and such, but the number of posts haven't gone down that much. (Should we recount?) https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ I can't believe I said that.
Let's see Bistro's better half on the mend and except for Mosaic's meltdown over the printer, (she recovers quickly it seems)we will have a good holiday. A very merry Christmas to all of you.
