One more thing. This is something cool I found out today. In addition to the optical drives being wrong in the listing, the graphics card is wrong also. The listing said that it was a Radeon 9200 64MB. Notice how in my sig (which automatically gets it's info from my computer) it says 9200 128MB. Man, this dollar computer keeps getting better and better.

I know you said it was a long story, but how exactly did you get it for a dollar, Im sure everyone is curious as I am

Well I was looking on ebay for a good price on an iPod. None there. So I googled 'iPod' and up came this site called CompUSAAuctions.com. No good iPods there either. I decided to look around and when I clicked on the Mac tab up came a Palm Zire 71 with a buy it now price of a dollar. Without hesitation I bought it and decided to see just exactly why I could do that. Turns out that for that weekend only they were selling things for a dollar. The items would be put up and random times and always in the wrong category. I checked the forums several times a day and it seemed always at the right time. I got that palm zire (which was new), the computer I'm currently working on and one other computer (which I then gave to a friend who needed on for college. It was a crappy one anyway.) It was because this computer was so cheap that I'm exploring things to do with it. If I screw something up, I'm out a buck. Oh man, what would I do then?

I'm sorry fantomfreq but we only permit graphics as outlined in our rules. This being so I've removed yours.

Oops! Sorry about that Dan. I'll have to go check those out for myself and see what I can do. You'd think that the first thing I'd do is read the instructions.

Why read the instructions if nothing goes wrong! ":O}

$1. Thats amazing. If I had known about that I would be on that site the whole weekend looking for items like that.
