I have a 6 yr old Dell Latitude with an Intel Pentium III 498 MHz, 256MB 
RAM, 60 gig HD (47 gigs free space) and a 40 gig external drive with 24 
gigs free....Oh, and 28Kps dialup and 2.8Kps download (it will take a 
few hours to get that program...maybe while I'm sleeping.)

Hmmm. Maybe I can't do it after all.
