The other thing I need to do is find uses for the pile
of 386 and 486
boxes in my garage. It's 6 feet wide and 4 feet tall, neatly stacked.
Well, since they are 386's and 486's I'd recommend finding a worthy charity
that could use them, though you might be able to unload the 486's at a swap
meet.
Of course the smartalick answer that came to mind was to turn them on end,
get some cement, and build a shed useing them instead of bricks :^)
A few machines running the Ersatz-11 emulator, a couple
more running some
CP/M emulators, one or two for disk conversions, a few more for packet
radio and I think I shut down my local power grid. =-)
I've got to confess I keep wondering when I'm going to do this or at least
blow the fuses in the house. Haven't done either so far.
