   My True Blue al-IBM PS/4 is in the closet awaiting me to get the energy to   
   plug it all in, including a beautiful 21" SVGA CRT!   
      
   Microchannel architecture, so all the speed that MCA ever had, but on a   
   compter that allows non-MCA HDs (those run $1K/Gb) & run SCSI without   
   modifications to system setup data. . .   
      
   Currently I'm lazily on a Pentium of some sort (3.5Ghz, IIRC), big enough    
   RAM, LCD, & HDD; stuck on Win10 because the SOBs upgraded it without my   
   permission, while I was asleep!   
      
   I was just fine with Win8.1 forever! I prefer DOS, of course ("DOS IST    
   GUT!" was my motto -- I can still trick out a DOS machine to run today's   
   software & internet! :D Running out of people who'll pay me to do so (I was   
   charging $75+/hour for my time at my peak)   
      
   Good times. . . now I'm just an old geek puttering around trying ri relive   
   BBSing & Fidonet! :D I check in on FB occasionally tro rtemind myself why    
   I left. Still don't do much with Gtwitter except read friends' tweets &    
   have successfully avoided creating an IG account.   
      
   I play on Imgur on occasion, & get all my "pretty pictures"(art, honest) on   
   Reddit's r/gonewild   
      
   Social media really missed in getting mky interest. . .   
      
   Trying to get all my new software going so I can be a point again, & I can   
   read Usenet mail & resurrect the local group here in Vancouver BC, after we   
   successfully UDP one loser who's been almost singlehandedly ruining it for   
   over 25 years!   
      
   & back to collecting jokes & puns as I once did. . . got millions of them   
   saved!   
      
   Your friend,
