When did pentium become the required cpu?
Read the side of some current boxes of software. Besides its a sad day when
one of us scroungers can't dig up a pentium 166mmx class machine for $100
or less. I think a nice 17" monitor is pretty essential as well.
Unless its "interesting" I don't bother taking home anything below a
486/66, 68040/25, etc. I strip the parts where I find them and leave the
hulks behind. It isn't because they have so little value, and they do have
little value, its a question of my time and storage space.
