Obsolete Computer Museum Helpline

Helpline Comment (22982) (Aug 12 2003 23:50 GMT) - I picked up a nice obsolete pc from the thrift today. An Aptiva 380mhz. It was sold to me for pennies because the cashier thought it didn't work. The case is extremely nice but when I turned it around to the back, half of the back where you plug the mouse/keyboard/monitor etc has been hued out. I booted it & it booted up to Windows ME with no problems. |
