He he, Joe I know just how you feel.....

When I first tried GPL on my old pc (ATX m/b & K6 based) it just 
wasn't good enough. So I went out and built me a whole new pc, 
(based on BX m/b, 300a celery @ 450 & 128Mb pc100 Ram & 12Mb V2 card 
& 17" Monitor) mainly just for GPL (though I *do* use it for other 
stuff occasionally too).
