Hi!  Welcome!

 m> i am typing this on my 286!! :DD
 m> i swear i am not a spam bot!

Online on a 286, sounds like you fit in here. :)

 m> my 286 was at 25mHz with 16 mb of ram

Nice 286!  That sounds pretty beefy on a 286.  What kind of software are you running?

 m> but that mobo gone bad. the solder on the chipset chip 
 m> is not good and it breaks. i sent it to my friend to get 
 m> it fixed! because my hands shake and i have no space for a workspace >.<

It definitely helps to have someone with some practice to do that kind of work - the learning process can be frustrating when soldering, usually we all break some things before we are able to actually fix things.  Even with soldering experience, I still have a friend with more expertise who I can pass the really tough jobs off to.

 m> i am proud of this system! <3

Great to hear of a 286 system running and actually being used too!  I have a 486DX4-100 here as a BBS-era machine, but to be honest I rarely use it and just call in with Syncterm on my laptop like a lamer.  ;)
