Dunno how to tell you this, but I'm not drowning in money. I had some cash
lying around that I didn't like tossing into the bottomless pit which I
call a Bank Account, so I got hardware. I got the best I could afford
without it being painful. 

It's not that I was expecting lightning to fly out of my computer now, but
I assumed upgrading to a 200MHz CPU and an S3 based card, with a bit more
memory, would be noticably faster than the 133MHz+Cirrus. I'm not looking
for hardware suggestions, if I could afford whatever machine I wanted, I
seriously doubt it'd be Intel-based (;

Believe it or not, I'm going to try and fix this one first.
If it was the Linux drive it wouldn't be that much of a problem to
reinstall, but it was the Doze drive, you think I know where I put all the
CDs with all the drivers? (;
