I was cleaning out my closet and thought I would get rid of some things. I put the following items up on auction over at Yahoo (yeah I know about Ebay, but I use Yahoo all the time).
(2.5GB Western Digital HDD)
(1.6GB Fuji HDD)
(1.6 Maxtor HDD)
(6.4GB Western Digital HDD)
If you are in the market for some hard drives maybe I can help.

I’ve been compiling my kernel for a week and a half now and still have yet to get my Voodoo working since installing a new motherboard. I know I know, I’m suppose to be a hardware genius. However, I don’t know if it is a matter of the kernel or something else that I am over looking. When I start Quake, I get the following error: **************************************** ...no hardware acceleration found... If this is in error, add "+set r_allowSoftwareGL 1" to the command line. ****************************************
At this point I am totally open to suggestions.
Edit your .Xdefaults and paste the following text:
!## NETSCAPE
Netscape*drawingArea.translations: #replace
: ArmLink()
: ArmLink()
~Shift: ActivateLink()
~Shift: ActivateLink(new-window)
DisarmLink()
Shift: ActivateLink(save-only)
DisarmLink()
Shift: ActivateLink(save-only)
DisarmLink()
: DisarmLinkIfMoved()
: DisarmLinkIfMoved()
: DisarmLinkIfMoved()
: DescribeLink()
: xfeDoPopup()
: ActivatePopup()
Ctrl: PageUp()
Ctrl: PageDown()

Netscape*toolBar.myshopping.isEnabled: false
Netscape*toolBar.search.isEnabled: false
Netscape*toolBar.viewSecurity.isEnabled:

EndSection
This should take care of it. Simply restart your XServer and give it a try. NOTE: For some reson Netscape will stop working after a little while, the reason is unknown at this point

Ellen (my beautiful and thoughtful wife) got me a new processor for my box. I am now the proud owner of a K6-2 550MHz cpu. Just a word of advice for those folks out there about to buy a motherboard, BUY A GOOD ONE!. I bought an Asus P5a when they first came out, did massive research and it is still paying off to this day with my third processor upgrade. All I know is that Quake3 starts in like 2 seconds now. Thanks Ellen!
