Type it in the message body as, for example, Mailto:myname@myisp.com
it will be an active link when you receive the message, not when you
compose it. Send a CC: to yourself to test this.

I assume you mean parts for your first Hand-built computer...
#1. These should be provided when you buy the motherboard.
 make sure there are cables are included for Serial, Parrallel connectors
if the I/O is integrated on the board. Your EIDE drive kit should contain a
ribbon cable also. Make sure the mounting components are what you need for
your case.
#2. Using the backup copy of Windows 95 from your other computer would be
software Piracy, thus I can't offer advice on that.

Make sure you don't actually need a 486SL which is a lower power
consuming 486. Also the present CPU may be a Soldered QFP (rather than
ZIF socket) onto the board,
and would require very delicate work to replace. You might try asking in a
Comp.Hardware group for more help, or search dejanews for For sale and
Wanted groups.
Be sure to include the part/model or style you need.

how much info can someone obtain about you when you send them an e-mail

Try This; Open a message, view the Document source and scan the headers.
Your message indicates you are a worldnett customer, and you have not
altered your e-mail identity. A Reverse IP address
lookup shows your are dialing from Chicago. Using A
Search engine I could derive possible addresses and phone numbers.

There's something extremely wrong with your message, and I would almost

Memory and Storage= Silver and Gold; Apples and Applesauce.
Memmaker is a dos app designed to make conventional memory available
to conventional programs running on a poorly designed architecure. It can't
do anything for the limitations of Wintel storage methodologies (ie that 4.3
GB hard drive).
Needless to Say, memory is not storage, Memory is volatile or non-volatile,
unless you count Virtual Memory which uses storage to poorly support memory
by means of the Swap file.

this is because SVGA is not a very generic thing. Is your video card a

see what kind of chipset you have installed, then pull drivers from the 
manufacture's web site.

>Has anyone ever hacked POV to:

would you be able to tell me if it was 9/10ths or 9/16th's? How about a
black screen?

How about being able to render some chipped beef on toast and then pull it
off the screen and eat it.

Yes some guy who's internet access is from the public library knows how to
make lots of money. This is too good(?) to be true!
