Subj: Re: [kl] Paypal Messages Linux plug EXPENSIVE

So sorry to hear its expensive.
The point I am making here today is that Linux is free and
you can run it on any old PC with 128 MB of ram and a 3 gig hard drive and
a CPU running as slow as 300 mhz does fine so pull out those attic
junked PCs
or get one used at a computer show and you can play with linux without
spending a fortune.
The last PC I purchased cost me $40
