Bah! I’m still handwriting my responses and mailing them to Cecil via USPS. All typos are therefore attributable to him.
Damn kids and your electronics gadgets. 
I’m using a modified 1920’s Style Death Ray…
I’d also really love to see this. Ahh nostalgia.
I fire up my IBM PC XT 286 (1986) from time to time.
I’m still using the first and only computer I’ve ever owned.
Back in 1995 Bill Gates announced to the world that every private home could hook up to the internet–all you had to do was buy a computer with Windows 95. So I got curious .“Hey what is this internet thing that everybody’s talking about? I’ve heard that you can find info on just about anything, , and there might even be some porno pictures.”
So I bought a Pentium (not a pentium I, II or III–just a Pentium 233 mhertz, 'cause they told me it was better than a Pentium 66 mhertz) with 32k RAM.
Later I added some ram–up to 64k, and tried to upgrade to Windows 98 with somebody’s old discs, but the installation screwed up,so I get the dreaded blue screen of death every other day.
I’m reading this with Netscape 6.
And for casual surfing the web it works just fine.
I’m a proud Luddite—none of those fancy upgrades for me. I’m sticking with the old ways, just like Grandpa told me to.
I found it but the link to the picture is dead. Maybe if I say Larry Mudd, he’ll come by with a working link.
A VAX 11/785 with VMS 5.3…
Oh, didn’t read the OP fully. The VAX is in use at work, but not to post here…
I blow into a phone.
I win.
grumbles Here I thought I could win this one.
Toshiba Satellite 335cds laptop bought in 1997. It has 96 mb of RAM (I added the extra 50 years ago) and a Pentium MMX 233mhz processor.
Wow, that is from like 1984, I believe. What do you guys use it for?
The VMS OS was years ahead of it’s time. The clustering capability it had (has?) was amazing.
Around 2001 I was still using my Mac IIsi, 68020. 40 meg HD, 9 megs RAM. System 7.1. Browser was either a telnet connection to the SFPL’s Lynx or Navigator 2.0.2.
There’s a website that outlines how to get a Mac Classic on DSL; maybe when I’m bored I’ll see what I can do with that.
Right now, my comp and the one I have at work are about 2 years old, but the machine at my parents, which I use when I’m there, has parts that date back to the early 1990s. The last system we bought all put together, other than mine which we only bought because it was a steal, was a Mac, which was in I think 1989 or 1990. Ever since then, it’s been buy a tower, drop this in, take that from your brother, and the like.
And the award for "Most Gratuitous Use Of A ‘1920’s Style Death Ray’ goes to…Annie-Xmas ! ! ! ! ! Well done!
