I don't think I'll ever go back to "real hardware" the night I virtualized the
BBS to Vmware EXSI. Now it can live out the rest of its life future-proofed 
and hardware independant.

The IBM R51 that ran Darkrealms and the Fido Hub for two decades was almost
immediately retired. Packed up in a box with other tech memorabilia buried at
the bottom of a bedroom walk-in closet.
