That's when I'm in the lab working on my computer science assignments because I don't have money for the cafeteria. And $25? If I were to spend that much, I would not be able to even go to school except by walking for 8km on poorly lit streets at night (transit costs me between $40-$70/month). My budget is extremely tight. But enough about the tight budget of a student. The Debian computer happens to use PCMCIA cards, unlike the connected computer, a Windows98 machine, with a built in ethernet port, that I am not allowed to alter in any way, shape, or form (although I was sorely tempted when Windows zapped its own ability to startup). The question asked before still holds. Any ideas? Seneca [EMAIL PROTECTED]
