true to a point. I still have some 33mhz computers running win 3.1 that =
need some love every now and them. I have a server that talks to our =
old IBM system 36 (which is almost as old as me) that is a Gateway 2000 =
P90. Not just Gateway, but Gateway 2000. One of these days I will have =
to return half the equipment in my server room to the Smithsonian. I =
even have a Decision Data printer around here that is the size of a =
washing machine. We were thinking of gutting it and turning it into a =
mini bar.
