Just throwing this out here...

I'm a retro geek. I admit it.
I get great joy out of resurrecting an old computer, or other electronic
device of some sort.

I've been successful in multiple arcade game resurrections, (the real ones,
not those little desktop consoles) Pinball games, Ok.. two PONG consoles,
Commodore C64's and 64C's, old PC XT clones like the Compaq portable, etc...

Most recent projects happen to be an HP 286, a couple of eMachines (both
surprisingly WORK) one with 98SE, the other with 98ME, and an Optiplex GX240
running XP.

Ok, so the latter ain't exactly 'retro' yet but I have to admit, I'm having
fun.

planned projects are to build wireless modems for the Compaq and one of my
486's although I already have a couple of ISA nic's. Just fun shit! you know
what I mean?

What about the rest of rest of you?  I know that at least one of you has a
TRS-80 fetish...

Any others?
