 Ok,

  Yes the 386 caught me by surprize..

 Where Alan was looking for SunOS media to resurect
 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.
