I don't have a 286, just the fond memories of playing games on friends' 286s.  I got a Book8088, fun little XT mini-laptop made new from old parts, and while I enjoy it, the limitations show up pretty often.  Then the Pocket386 (386SX mini-laptop made new from old parts) came out and I realized that's probably a lot more interesting/useful for me.  Maybe I'll find an old 286 desktop someday and fill the gap between the XT and 386.  :)
