Dear Fernando,

My humble suggestion would be to buy either an Athlon or a PIII and be satisfied
for quite a while. The speed range approx. 600-700 Mhz that should definitely
hold up till the next big Mhz leap.

I was about suggest a dual board with two Celeron processors, but that would
mean switching to NT or Win 2000; however, knowing your penchant for steering
clear of the technical mumbo-jumbo, I think you'd better stick to Win98 for a
while.

All the best to you and the family.  Is it finally getting a little cooler in
Santiago now? :-)
