his 386i
Its not too hard to put my finger on why im so fond
of old unix workstations.
The period that extends from when the best box even the
most upper class average joe nerd could afford was an altair,
surplus pdp11 or later a trs80's running newdos/ldos
extending on into the rampage/desqview and early OS/2 days
All this old hardware now on ebay for scrap was droolware
wishware, you certainly didnt think you would ever own one
of them.
Now CPUs run at microwave RF and even a cheaper crap
wintel board puts them all to shame. and a nice unix to
run on them is free w source. but that It hasnt done much
to quench those old flames of desire.
