   I started out on old Tandy Model II, then I, III, 4, 4p, 1000, CP/M    
   Molecular (running MP/M for 4 terminals), then IBM and Clones in the XT    
   era. The Model I, is when I wrote my first BBS... Model II ran Xenix,    
   so, it was kinda like a BBS in itself - haha.

   Good luck with that!! If I could at least get WiFi or Eth working, OS/2    
   would be more interesting.
