I'll go for the booby prize. My main machine is OK - a Duron 800/ 384Mb/
20Gb/ GeForce2 MX400, but the server is a 486-100/ 48Mb/ ~3Gb total of
SCSI discs off a Adaptec 1542 and there's a 486-25/8Mb/40Mb running a
Freesco autodialling router/firewall/DHCP server. There's life in old
machines yet :-).

Really?! Which model? I cut my coding teeth on a PERQ.

I'd support the idea of a meeting, but children's activities limit my
availability on Thursdays.

Cheers,
