That's amazing! My first PC computer 36 years ago was one. Does yours
have a "Turbo" button to switch between standard 4,77 Mhz and a higher rate? What model and make is it? Mighty my, I remember I even tried Windows/286 at the time, although there was not really much use for it.

I'm trying to read this in my head with thick Austrian accent. :-)
Nice :)
I have an archived 286 motherborad somewhere which ran this bbs at the beginning 'some' years ago. Waiting for spare time to build a working computer again. :)

the years. I moved every couple of years in my 20s and 30s, and when living in an apartment, storage space is at a premium.
I can think of at least 6 computers I tossed over the years because of lack of storage and obsolescence, that, if I knew they would have come back in style, would have kept.
An Osborne 1. Compaq Portable II. An IBM PC XT - the real thing, with
IBM keyboard and monitor. A 486/50 local bus system. Pentium Pro 200.
All gone.
Hello Tobias,
I am very glad to see that you are still in Fidonet. Don't you want to
return to developing Husky?

Sure, but the BBS you're posting from appears to be in Australia,
looking at its Fidonet address. And the joke about the "Austr[al]ian accent" is authored by the legendary L.Christmas from "Dumb & Dumber".

Never seen this one. This sort of taglines sure evokes my CONFIG.SYS memories... and bewilderments.

Same here.

It's not that they're "back in style" I think. It's just that some
people are hoarders, so they appeared to consciously make hoarding obsolete hardware their hobby. The truth is it's hard to be a hoarder if you don't have a spacious basement. :-)

I started with only a 486/DX4 back in the day (as my 1st home PC). The earliest memory of a PC I have seems to be an XT with an orange phosphor display, but I don't think I'd put it to good use nowadays.
"still" is not the right term. I recently returned.
I am still evaluating whether resuming developing is worthwile. I must
say that together with quitting Fidonet some years after I got
married, I also quit developing. I am a patent attorny nowadays. Of course, C is still my second mother tongue ;), but I would have to
make quite an effort to get back on boat.
Of course, If I should decide to set up my own node once more, it will
be Husky and it won't be long until I will be submitting some bug fix
or other as need arises ;).

i686, that has to be some kind of Pentium Pro or Pentium M? It could
make a solid WinNT machine though. :-)
