Picked up an Intel brand Pentium 100, runs OS/2 nicely. Also found a DEC MicroVax II with 2 4-line serial controllers. No drives, but I have a few spares. Time to froray into VMS.

Last Sunday I went to see the Woz speak at the Mac Group of Detroit. Fascinating speaker, if anyone has the chance to see him I highly reccomend it. He talked in-depth about working at TI, designing Breakout with Steve Jobs for Atari, and designing his own computers at the Homebrew Computer Club. Most fascinating factoid: He was inspired to make his first TV-display terminal when he paid a visit to Captain Crunch and saw that he had a Teletype in his apartment, and was "Talking to some guys in Boston!" over Arpanet.
