[techtalk] how to get hardware specs

[eito]

Hi,

I think that a program called sysinfo would do the job, too.
(except disk space). It is free to educational and non-profit 
organizations.

You can check out sysinfo at:

I have old version of sysinfo, which may be freely distributed.
If you are interested, let me know.
