a respectable amount of memory and hard drive space. There are also some
interesting additions such as the t.v. card with video capture, and the
video out, on the display adapter. The unit has recently been given Bigguy's
old slot 1 motherboard, which should be sufficient for the role this little
machine plays. I have also replaced the old 6.4gb hard drive with a 16.8
gb unit. Littleguy resides in my living room, right next to where my stereo,
t.v., and video equipement are set up. I used this machine on the network
to store an image of Bigguys' hard drive last time I redid him. I primarily
use Littleguy to play games and do video captures either from the t.v.
card or from my camcorder. I also use him to take my computer tutorials
when I feel like sprawling out on the living room floor with my books and
study materials all around me. I now have Littleguy plugged into my stereo
system so that I can record audio files onto tape, or take things off of
tape and turn them into audio files which can be sent to Bigguy and put
on CD. Littleguy is running Windows 98 on a single fat 32 partition. All
of my games are loaded onto him, as well as all of my graphics and office
programs. I have not installed the encyclopedias, or the National Geographic
on to him because these programs require the cd to be in the drive, and
they are already installed onto Bigguy. I also do not have my math, astronomy,
or history programs on him for the same reason, although all of my computer
tutorials are installed. Littlguy is also the computer on which I have
installed my flash card reader, so that I can easily retrieve, and modify
photos taken with my digital cameras.
