I guess I'm more fortunate than you two. I have a 486/66 w/32 MB, 20"
screen, CD-ROM, 1.5 GB disk space. Of course, in my previous job
I had much what you have, Bex. A Goldstar 486/33, 8 MB & 14" screen,
256 BM disk space. I was able to convince them to upgrade me to 16 MB
and a 17" screen, but I left that company shortly after that. Oh, I had a
b/w
HP scanner there too. Quite handy for creating illustrations.
