Umm, I guess you guys and gals need to go to a real chinese restaurnt
where they have Yumcha. Basically, you choose what you want to eat from
little carts as they are wheeled around the restaurant.
Same as gong into a computer bits shop nd choosing a case, a motherboard,
cpu, rm, hd, etc, etc, etc.

Ageist huh? {:-).
I'm not sure that I need 5 DNS or other servers, or can aford the power
bill. This is part of the problem with old hardware, it just isn't up to
"current" demands placed on systems, especially if you do not have old
software to match the age, e.g I have a 10, but it struggles running
the CDE under Solaris 8.
