I have an old IBM Aptiva.  It's hooked to a much older 15" Compaq 
monitor, which you may have if you need a monitor, too.

A note on the Aptiva: it was in my parents' house when they were 
flooded out during Hurricane Floyd.  Their house was flooded so badly 
that they had to get new floors and replace much of the drywall.  
Needless to say, the computer was under water for many hours, possibly 
two or three days.

But it runs great.  I even added a NIC a couple years ago so that I 
could hook it up to my home LAN.

Say what you will, IBM makes a d@mn fine machine.

(An old roommate used to tell stories about dropping an old IBM 
keyboard off the top of Phillips Hall at Carolina.  Two keys popped 
off, but she popped them back on, and was still using it two or three 
years later.  Like I said: d@mn fine machines.)

Let me know.

PS Did you move out of your office in Carrboro?  I had a job near 
Calvander, and drove back through there.  I looked for your sign, but 
didn't see it.
