4P? Wuzzat?

My True Blue al-IBM PS/4 is in the closet awaiting me to get the energy to
plug it all in, including a beautiful 21" SVGA CRT!

Microchannel architecture, so all the speed that MCA ever had, but on a
compter that allows non-MCA HDs (those run $1K/Gb) & run SCSI without
modifications to system setup data. . .

Currently I'm lazily on a Pentium of some sort (3.5Ghz, IIRC), big enough 
RAM, LCD, & HDD; stuck on Win10 because the SOBs upgraded it without my
permission, while I was asleep!

I was just fine with Win8.1 forever! I prefer DOS, of course ("DOS IST 
GUT!" was my motto -- I can still trick out a DOS machine to run today's
software & internet! :D Running out of people who'll pay me to do so (I was
charging $75+/hour for my time at my peak)

Good times. . . now I'm just an old geek puttering around trying ri relive
BBSing & Fidonet! :D  I check in on FB occasionally tro rtemind myself why 
I left.  Still don't do much with Gtwitter except read friends' tweets & 
have successfully avoided creating an IG account.

I play on Imgur on occasion, & get all my "pretty pictures"(art, honest) on
Reddit's r/gonewild

Social media really missed in getting mky interest. . .

Trying to get all my new software going so I can be a point again, & I can
read Usenet mail & resurrect the local group here in Vancouver BC, after we
successfully UDP one loser who's been almost singlehandedly ruining it for
over 25 years!

& back to collecting jokes & puns as I once did. . . got millions of them
saved!

Your friend,
