Oh, man, this is the day I sent the car incurance payment in two months early. So much for getting ahead of myself. <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> Sorry, Chris. If we are still taking money in a few weeks (I pray not), I will chip.
I'll chip in even if we aren't, I owe this place that much. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
What I can do, is pimp the guys we buy from here. We just got 200 off-lease machines from these guys, about a year old in specification, which is certainly powerful enough for anything but hard-core gaming and CADD.
www.hcditrading.comScreens are available from them, but if he has one, he can reuse it. AV can be free- there are a couple of good ones, I've used AVG. The best household firewall, IMHO, is ZoneAlarm, also free. OpenOffice from Sun is very comperable to Office, and can handle everything that Office makes except for Access, and again, is free. If you get something sans-OS, and have a legal copy of XP, you can toss it in- that will save you a little.
As for tech support, are there any ETSers who are geeks around Chris? If I wasn't on the east coast, I'd be willing to do what I could over the phone.
