Personally I've always considered there to be a

finally on topic now), and even really cool PC hardware (the SGI
VW320/540's would probably fall under this clause).
True, coolness factor counts for a lot. I guess the bottom line is that
if someone is getting way too PC, they'll hear about it from others.
I really don't want to trudge through a bunch of
PC and Windows
discussions here, but I've got to admit that if I ever find the time to
setup a DOS box like I've been wanting to, I'll probably have a few
questions (it's been over 10 years since I really did anything with DOS),
and I'll probably ask them here.
As with everything, with enough time passed, even DOS and Windows will be
interesting to discuss. Just not right now.
