Hey jellybean,,,thanks for the reply,,,,I can't even try to get it to display a picture,,,don';t even think about video,,,,,
But I'm on it,,,use'in it right now,,,,it just takes 3min to get to a new page,,and then 1 or 2min to get everything togeather,,,,after that if it does'nt freeze up,and you start from scrach,,,your OK.....like now,,,,,,
Is there anything I could do for it......???,,,,,,See we are going to move from here in s.jersey,,in june,,,,going back to santa cruz where we met up,24yrs ago.....When we get there we will get a nice new puter....SO yea please tell me if I should find someone who could build me one....or just call dell.....
And do YOU think we could bring some new life back into this old girl??? Maybe put in the 95windows instead of the 98were run'in now......

I get to the library and use there puters,,,but they kick me off after an hour......I read some amaze'in things on ray kurzwiel's site today....It took me to a site you would probably know.....can't remember it now though....but I've learned to live with my bad memory,,,kind'a like this ol puter....maybe I'll get them both fixed....someday...

If you are talking about these guys:
Quantex - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I am afraid not--that company folded in 2000

No offense-- but that's not worth fixing-- if you could fix it.
You could buy or build one today-- that would make that look like a cheap calculator.

We would be happy to help you pick out a rig-- what...exactly, do you want to do with your PC ?

It is a very small hard drive if tthe HDD is to full no spave left on the HDD then pc will not boot up.Maybe a larger hard drive not of great size and reinstall 95 0r 98.With a bigger HDD it should boot,no need to get a pro in and pay some one.Make sure power is off and PC unplugged take out old HDD and put in new one,it only needs IDE and power supply plugging back in reboot pc and reinstall win 95 or 98.98 would be better.But microsft no longer gives as much support for older Os like 95/98.A little more RAM would help to but it is old type RAM installed and it is a bit pricey to buy.If you can obtain maybe just 128 RAM the pc would run better,it is also an old pc wich would proberly have max RAM of 128 if your lucky it maybe 256.

Win 98 needs at least 3 gig HDD just to boot up and get her running.

yea well we paid three large to buy this puter,,then we had people upgrade it as much as was possibile,,,now it can't hardly handle the 98sys..of windows,,,,,but Im work'in with it right now...SOoo she ain't dead yet.....I went into look around and I deleted enternet Exporer,,,or I tryed too,,,,I deleted lots of our personall files,,,,and I slid up the measure of how much space I wanted to use for internet files.....So she's hang'in in there...
When we make it back to cali,,,(santa cruz) we want to buy a new puter,,,,
Can you give me some advice on what to do??? which option should I try...
One= find someone who can build us one....and be on our own for support...
---- --------- OR-------------------
Two=....buy something from Dell...and use there support.....

Here's what I'd like to do with our next puter....I'd like to be able to look at naked women makeing me think lusty thoughts....Oh wait,,,forget I said that.!!!!
I'd like to be able to see moveing pictures with my computer freez'in up....
I'd like to surf the web,and go to place's like U-tube,,and actually see motorcycles,and stuff
I know my wife only use's the e-mail,,but if she could she'd like to shop,and stuff on the web...
Hell You get the picture,,,I ain't no brain-e-akk,,,that needs some huge amount of computational power.......but it would be nice to buy a digital camera and play with photo shop,,,,,and some such non-super computer stuff......someday...

You could buy a Dell-- though their support is not all it's cracked up to be.
Many, many reasonably-priced PC's today will do all those things--

This Site-- completely free... is a great tech-buying Ratings website
Ratings are from buyers with actual purchases (it must be proved--that they actually bought the stuff) If there is a problem-- that company has a right to respond to any criticism from the buyer-- to be fair. I have been a member for years-- found many great companies through it.

Well I just pulled the puter out of it's safe nest,,,and unpluged it,,,put it on the kitchen table,,took off the cover,,and it was full,,well it had lots of dust bunnies,run'in around it it.
So I vacuumed it out,,and now maybe she will run cooler,,,,,heck Im just glad she's still runn'in at all....

While I was lookin around in the inside of her body,,,I could see all the boards,,,some of them I put in myself...like the 56K modem,,,,back then it was good....

Do YOU think I could buy all the hardware to build a great system from advice from this site.....?????....I mean when I get to santa cruz,,,find an apt. and get my stuff out of storeage,,,,many my tools,,,for my sled,,once I get my cycle up on my lift,,and pull it all apart,,and do alot of tender loveing care mantainence,,,plus a new exhaust sys.,,,and maybe a new carb,,,,get her back on the road,,,ready for my second trip to sturgis,,,then once I get back from sturgis,,,,I'll be ready to try and build a monster puter,,,,my then I'll have some people in my cornner from the area who knows computers,,,and can help me put it togeather.....someday...

Sure, we could help you with that-- we have in fact, already advised people on hardware builds...
There are many ways to go--
you can buy all the components and build from scratch

you can buy a Motherboard with CPU and RAM already installed/tested
add the rest

you can buy a "Kit" or "Barebones" PC-- add your own Keyboard/mouse monitor-- perhaps upgrade the Video/sound...

Lots of options.

PS-- be careful when using a Vacuum in a PC Case--best way to do this (once you get your NEW PC)-- is to use a can of compressed air (no compressors--too much power/moisture)-- blow the dust bunnies out, and THEN vacuum them up.
Some of the components inside a PC are susceptible to "electrostatic-discharge" damage-- like your RAM/CPU/Harddrive-- it is very rare-- but if it does happen it can be catastrophic.
