Money’s too tight right now. I trust my machine as well as I would a refurb. Granted all machines eventually crash beyond repair but even my old 98/2 will still boot up. I use it sometimes to copy CD to CD. I’ve looked a refurbs at Dell and $220 would upgrade my desktop this month and laptop next month. Thanks for the info.
As far as a modem goes, doesn’t this take care of that for $15.00?
