I opened the box up, and there was only one slot for a card, and that was
filled with a modem, and couldn't have held a video card anyway. EVERYTHING
else was built on board, video, sound, everything. I had a video card we could
have used, but there wasn't any place to put it. Also, the box itself was much
too short to contain my card. He'll be getting a new computer (like a P4) soon,
so maybe I could convince him to put Linux on that. I'd want him to install the
newest version of RedHat, not my 6.2 release like we were trying on his current
computer:-)
