That made we wonder... what's the oldest *operational* digital machine
owned by anyone on this list? Although I suppose it's hard to define
'machine' - something with RAM, I/O in some form, and at least one
CPU (what the heck do you call a CPU when it's no longer central?)
I guess a straight 8 would be the most likely, but the PDP-1 and other
machines may be accesed by list members if not owned.
One thing
I love about my old IBM PC 5150 with ST-225 is that *it is
still running 22 years later*. I fire it up at least once a week to
do some hobby
Newcommer :-). My 32-year-old HP9830 still fires up.
