 BC> How did you become interested in retrocomputing?  What got you started
 BC> on 286's?

beleive it or not my 1st computer i ever owned is a game boy color back in 1998 the 1st computer i ever used was a 16 bit snes back in 1996
i had so much fun on such limited hardware. i got my own system from y2k at 2007 and by 2008 rolling around i got a  pentium
in 2011 i got a 486. at this time  i knew what an XT and 286 is and really wanted them. so for my 22 birthday i ordered them and fell in love. they are so neat and people think they are junk but you can do SO MUCH on them! thats why i love them because of my fond childhood memories in the mist of heavy turama. because such limited systems made me be able to make friends and socialize like the 8 bit game boy color! so i love 16-bit systems because of the cool factor! :D
