The system isn't all that old, it has a PS/2 mouse connector but I don't have a (decent) PS/2 mouse whereas I do have some very usable Mouse Systems optical mice.
It is nice that optical mice don't need cleaning as often as ball mice.
It's all up and running now and seems pretty OK running Ubuntu 7.0.4, it has 384Mb of memory, a 40Gb hard disk and an AMD K5 (I *think*) processor.
cat /proc/cpuinfo
It's funny how some people like to boast about their high speed PC, while others instead boast about how small/slow it is and still be usable! My K6-266 died in Novmeber 2005 and my K5-75 was re-homed in August 2004 to someone wanting to run DOS applications.
