I'm posting from my old Pentium III computer which I dragged out of the crawl space. Except for the optical drive which won't open, it pretty much functions as normal. I wish I still had my Pentium MMX, 486SX, and 386SX.

I'm posting from the computer in my sig. I don't keep old junk. As soon as I get a new one, I give the old one away.

Just for you I fired up the 386SX I have sitting under my desk hooked up to my dual input monitor. I hope you feel special, thats 10 minutes I won't ever get back. Now I'm going to go sulk in the corner.

My 486 doesn't have a network card, and my Atari 130XE has joined the choir invisible (WTB in FS/FT)

I'd post from my 1995 Micron brand Pentium 133 but it's too much work to plug it in :lazy;

I like old junk almost as much as I like new junk.

It couldn't have been much effort if it was already under your desk.

Fine, here's a post from my ancient laptop (AMD K6-2 266 with 48 megs of RAM and a 10 dollar wireless card. Strangely enough, all the computers I own that still work seem to have AMD processors.

I don't feel like turning around and using my Xubuntu/P3 machine really. That's the oldest functioning thing I have.

I wish I hadn't had my PMMX 233 tossed after I had it upgraded because I couldn't play The Sims with more than a couple people on screen at once. I was so naive then :(

Since I recently sold all my computers (well except for the P4 3.4 server) Im using a HP Brio machine, P3/500, 2x64mb ram and a 9gb ide drive with BartPE, actually isnt too bad using it everyday.
