In the process of upgrading I discovered my previous-er computer still lurking in the hallway cupboard. There because it had a working floppy drive and it's replacement didn't have one at all, and because I haven't made a trip to the recyclers since using it in my first attempts to connect the network/internet to the TV.
It's a little bit sentimental, with HDD and RAM upgrades the basic machine did me many years. In addition to the floppy drive it has an early memory-card reader, which niftily came as part of a DVD-ROM/CD writer drive (DVD writers were still rare as well) This was a later addition, it also has it's original 52x CD-ROM drive (I think that was original).
Anyway, since I'm doing a bit of a de-clutter and I also have a couple of non-functioning printers to dispose of, there will be a trip to Molten Media sometime in the New Year if anyone wants to add stuff.
