USING classic machines

It was thus said that the Great DAVID L. ORMAND once stated: I no longer use my Coco for word processing, namely for two reasons: I don't have the space to set it up, and two, it's a bit sluggish (okay, I'm spoiled - I like having true lower case and a 80x25 screen). But I do use my other computers - a 386 for communications (as it can handle the 28.8kbps modem I have now), the Amiga for programming, the Data General 1 (lap top) when I travel and the Tandy 6000 for financial stuff (it has Multiplan on it, which I use from time to time). I'd use the uVax more often, but I need to get a new harddrive for it, and getting one with VMS 4.x pre-installed isn't that easy (not that I've tried really hard). I'd probably use it for CPU intensive projects, like ray tracing, and some development work (homebrew project: operating system of my own design). -spc (Fairly selective in the machines I collect - I don't have the time, money or space to collect machines ad-hoc. I like to use the machines I have)
