man those aint old, my first computer that i learnt to type on was an ibm xt - http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...r_XT_front.jpg
considering it was built a year before i was born thats pretty damn old school.

still that 66 chip was one hell of a leet bit of kit in its day. ive still got a 486 laptop with a whopping 8 colour scren that works. its only good for txt docs on win 3.11 but the battery still hasnt died and its built so much harder than modern pc world toys

Jeez. And I thought my G4 933 was getting a bit crumbly.

Aaah- the old 486. Doom. Doom 2. Links golf. Fond memories.

Oh how I ache for a Mac 8 Pro Core with lots of bits and Logic Studio, the Arturia V collection and Kontakt. Oh well- a few years of selling the body should do it!
