New Box
Tonight I got the new computer booted up and running. Here are the specifics of my new hardware:
Athlon XP 2000+ CPU w/Volcano 7 heatsink/fan
ECS K7S5A Motherboard (w/built-in audio and LAN)
256 MB PC2100 DDR RAM
GeForce 4 MX420 video card
40 GB 7200 RPM hard drive
52x24x52 CD-RW drive
3.5" 1.44 MB floppy (not sure I'll ever use it but it seemed like the right thing to do)
AT mid-tower case with 350W power supply
Total price - $350. Such a deal! Hopefully this will stand me in good stead for a while.
Of course, the best news is that it runs Cameron and Claire's Sesame Street and Lego software. We are pleased.

Wow! I certainly am impressed and in less than
a week's time. The price sure is good.
What are the programs that C & C do - under supervision I gather... probably not for long.
Running Sesame Street on your new computer is like the proverbial going after a chipmunk with an elephant gun.
Mike: Be that as it may, it's still a very important feature. If I built a computer that didn't run their software I'd be hosed.
Mom: The kids are pretty good at navigating their Sesame Street music "game" by themselves, believe it or not.
What a coincidence. I just accomplished this very same thing in January as well.
Congratulations on your success (and your price).
