Dead PC

That's what I did with my first PC. I had an XT and a PC, and I
thought the PC was dead because it wasn't booting like the XT. Then I
left in on while messing around with the XT, and all of a sudden it
booted. I felt much better, knowing that the second half of my new
acquisition booted too, even if it did take longer :-)

They were my first computers (IBM style). I paid $35 for the pair, back
in 96 or 97 :-) I don't have either anymore. The XT had a clone board,
and blew eventually, and I sold the PC on Ebay after I was tired of it.
I bought another XT, but sold that too.
