Old computers do NOT really interest me. You can't DO anything with them...and unless it is a REAL old one like an altair...---to ME...there is NO "sex appeal" to a 1980's or so computer..

Now..a small MAINFRAME...that could be made to WORK...might be appealing...if I had the ROOM for it.

Uh yes you can... if you really know what you're doing.

Sir, I have an 8086 that is both an FTP server, and also used as my IRC client at times. On the internet. Also, it makes a good banking computer, because if anyone broke in, they aren't going to steal it, or the floppy disks the bank data is actually on. Also, I REALLY love those buckling spring keyboards, and a real monochrome screen telling me how poor I really am.

Also, this 8086 has logged enough days on IRC to actually help fight some crimes that happened on a channel I opped when I wasn't looking. Data forwarded to police, arrests made. So, I find that quite useful, and it DID something.
