 Og> The butt blur was pretty funny.

Right?! :P I can't figure out my 'on camera' style just yet - gotta remember to think about the shot!

 Og> So.. what application do you have planned for the Dolch box?

So.... basically, its just 'the 486' in my retro collection. Meaning, the 'application' that I use it for is... I build different 486 systems and .img the partitions. They're all up on 2oFB in varying setups;

dolch_originalHDD.tar
dolch_originalHDD2gb.zip

I guess what I use MOST of the time is an MS-DOS 6.22 installation w/ Desqview/X, Windows 3.1 and all the games and demoscene stuff that I can squeeze on there.

For me, and retro computing, the 'application' IS the tinkering around - the face that I'm still learning new things on a 486, in 2024, is all push I need to keep going. :P
