	Presently have a donated tower Dell OptiPlex Gx620 sitting on a
trolley waiting for me to spend some more money and complete my project.
Managed to carry it in from the street up a short flight of stairs.  I
won't be doing anything mission critical on this little tower.  Funny 
thing is I am getting weaker every week.

	Just large enough to tell you it is shutting down, then it would save 
the open files and switch itself off.  not a large battery
at all and with modern lighter weight batteries it should not add that
much to the weight, especially as lower powered and less power demanding
cpus come into the marketplace.

	But I don't have to run a server and if somehow I could afford
all the toys I want, I would go to virtual server on leased space and 
have admins setup mailing list and .html servers for the SFBA LUGs.
