Just for the record, I also have one of these. Mine's a HP Vectra N2,
486dx2 or dx4 or something like that. It's a minor step up from Justin's,
but not much - I think it's got 16MB of memory, a 200MB HD and built-in
networking and video. Even has a 14" VGA monitor, never mind the mildly
melted corner from sitting next to something hot.
Just needs a good home, rapidly, as I'm moving in a week or two.
