   Hello, All.   
      
   This is something you all might like.  I am in the process of emptying out a   
   storage room that I've had for years and moving into another storage room   
   that's half the size of the old one.  During this, I found a SuperMicro P6SBA   
   motherboard that was given to me a few years ago in perfect condition.  I put   
   a spare Celeron/400 (Slot A case IIRC) in it, booted it up, and it works.  I   
   tried putting OS/2 on the system and it flies, so I put the motherboard in a   
   brand-new case I've been carrying around in the original cardboard box for a   
   few years.   
      
   It's actually pretty fast and seems to be perfect for the BBS.  Since my BBS   
   doesn't really get a ton of usage, it was a waste to use a multi-gigahertz   
   system for it.   
      
   I've got some more work to do on it, such as put in a NIC and configure OS/2   
   the way I want it for the BBS, but hopefully within a week or two I'll have my   
   old new system up and running.   
      
   I just couldn't bring myself to toss the motherboard. :)   
      
   Later,   
   Sean
