    CS>  DL> Bought a used Lenovo ThinkCentre for $50. Upgraded to 12 GB & a 1 TB

    CS> Sounds like the perfect system for running a BBS on. I also have a   
    CS> Lenovo, it's the Tiny Form Factor. I love it!   
      
   It's small...sits on its side just beside my monitor which is sitting on an   
   Allsop stand. Outta the way...access to the DVD drive & USB ports. Even using   
   a USB KVM switch to go between the two systems.   
      
   It came with an 8 GB SSD I took off it & added another 8 GB stick for about   
   $35 for a total of 12 GB. My desktop has just been upgraded to 2 8 GB sticks.   
   The great thing about these systems is they were used in retail outlets...so   
   we get them super cheap for doing exactly what I'm doing. For that   
   matter...thought about getting another RPi...but that would've cost me   
   more...even though I have a 3B+ & a Zero I bought at the holidays.   
      
    CS> ago was a older Intel Pentium system. After I transfered everything over   
    CS> to the Lenovo that PC has been collecting dust. I was planning on making   
    CS> that into either a OS/2 PC or a Amiga one. It has 2 modems in it. I'm   
      
   I was looking for a P4 system...but for the cost of 1 of those...I can buy at   
   least 2 of these POS systems.   
      
   That didn't occur to me about using a stock ThinkCentre as an Amiga PC with   
   WinUAE. As stupid as prices are for actual hardware...I could get 10-12 of   
   these systems for the cost of an actual Amiga system which might not even   
   work.   
      
    CS> I did install a older version of ArcaOS on that unused desktop. I'm not   
    CS> even sure where I downloaded it from, but it was a old version. Even   
    CS> with that, it looks pretty good.  I did have some boot issues. It would   
    CS> hang on occasion so I put playing with it to the backburner.   
      
   It does have some hangups once in a while...but whenever I get the board up &   
   running...am going to let it run by itself.   
      
   Even found a Hobbes OS/2 CD set I got from Archive.org from 1995. Put that   
   up...along with 4.52 to get others to start running it as well.   
      
    CS> For sure, I'll be bugging you guys very soon!   
      
   NP!!! This has been a dream of mine to run a BBS under OS/2 with   
   Renegade...but with a native OS/2 version of Telegard...no reason to look at   
   RG. Add to that if another version of Mystic for OS/2 comes out...will be   
   running that...since TG/2 also does JAM message bases.
