How did this go from a sensible suggestion on encryption to a my computer
is older than your pissing contest? LOL.

I had the atari 800xl with 2 floppy drives and a 300 baud modem, with an okimate 10 color printer through high school. I upgraded to a 286 with a 14.4 modem when I went off to college. When graduated I got a pentium 2. It amazed me I dual booted with slackware and windows 95. Later I tried redhat 5 and have been a linux fan ever since.

    Come on, *someone* has to have a Timex Sinclair!  Apple ][e?

    I've got an Atari 800XL but I've got power supply problems with
    the floppy drive so I can't load code.  It boots into the BASIC
    ROM though.  And I have my fully working (last I checked) Zenith
    181 laptop and working 720K 3.5" floppies with DOS+WordStar on
    floppy A and data on floppy B.

    I also have a stash of old computers, NICS, and floppy drives, so
    I could probably boot that old stuff up.  I even have a DOS 6.22
    VMware VM (I forget if I have networking enabled on it).

    Later,
    JP
