[Wylug-discuss] [MASSMAIL] Not wanting to start a distro war

[Rob Speed]

It sounds like people might be interested in getting the band back together for a one-off gig...

Somewhere in the centre of town as it's easier to get to for most people - buses, trains, a short walk and probably even free parking.

Martin - The bad old Siemens S10... (I went back to Ericsson). Can you believe that I've still got that phone, ok, it's in a box marked old phones, but I think it still powers on. 

Which brings me to another question... What old kit are people hanging onto because of nostalgia or maybe because it's still going and would probably be faffy to replace - we've still got a Beeb ("other computers are available") running here - I kid you not.

There must be a few 386's running early distro's still ticking along, or is it that Linux has improved at handling newer hardware, and the old software (mostly) still compiles that it's easy to swap old kit out for things that consume 'slightly' under a KW...?
