My current setup runs on 15 year old hardware with no problem (yet)... I think
the power supplies/capacitors are the biggest problems. Drives being second.

I won an auction for the exact Tandy 1000 I had in '89/'90... it is VERY

Sometimes there are RG questions that pop-up in here from time to time. I 
don't mind answering those but when its repeated requests for hand-holding
its a bit annoying. Its like people are spoiled by the Internet now and are so
used to Googling how to tie their shoes.

Whats annoying is someone doing something with RG, failing at it, then giving
either an attitude because it doesn't work right on Linux or its a "bug"....
