[simpits-tech] net working pc's

[Marv De Beque]

Paule, you can try a second network card in the master PC, but it may 
have conflict issues.  You may find you can get it working, but you may 
also find it too frustrating to get it working.

I would save my pennies (or start taking donations) and find more modern 
solutions at your neighborhood computer show.  Look on the net for times 
and places.  Or, locate a Ham Fest.  Look up Amateur Radio on the net 
and track down where the next one is.  Either place is a great place to 
find bargains.
