Nope, not possible, although my parents complain sometimes about the 3+ that
I have in my room. I leave my 4/330 off most of the time because the PS is
rated at 6 amps, and I can't afford to feed it that kind of power all the
time.

Well, I absolutely hate Jetta's, but I'm going to take a shot at it.
Although I don't know what I can do for the machines that aren't "on" in
terms of OS... The notebook in the front that's closed looks like an older
Compaq 486 contura, althought I may have the processor wrong. Don't know
you too well, so I can't wager on that OS. The one behind it is hard to
see, but I'd have to go with IBM thinkpad. That looks like a big IE thing
in the top of that window, so maybe a MS win box, but it's not too clear.
Netscape appears to be running on the one next to it, but I can't tell the
OS or make (dell?). The last machine IS a toshiba, or somebody who OEM'd a
toshiba. The OS is out of the question. Of course, I haven't seen a
sparcbook, so I couldn't tell if one of those is similar or not. 8-[ Oh,
and that's a Logitech 3-button mouse in the middle of the desk. Enough
failures for now,
Greg
