   For me, pure nostalgia. I have no practical use for it today. It is just   
   fun to look back on something I admired in the past and wanted but never   
   purchased and used anyway. I was a DOS/Windows user mostly. Today my   
   main desktop is Linux on both my laptops and my desktop. I use other   
   OS's as needed/wanted in virtual machines on top of Linux.
