Hello David - 

CA>>>> Some who use 233mhz and 450mhz machines just fake it and
CA>>>> pretend to be at the bleeding edge. ;-) 

JB>>> Hell no! We just clean up the bloody mess when the HW
JB>>> starts failing.  

CA>> Sad in a way that the old machines are disappearing into
CA>> refuse heaps. Not easy to even find a working '386 anymore
CA>> to experiment with. I was always a fan of doing more with
CA>> less. :-) 

DD> Modern software requires modern resources. 

'Modern' software is often just a rewrite of earlier software.
At times the early versions are faster and more efficient than
the 'modern' version. I don't see a great deal of innovation
lately just a lot of "me too" not unlike what has happened to
KNOPPIX with all the "me too"s out there now. 

When you don't have to cater to the vagaries of the unwashed
masses of computer illiterates you can afford the luxury of
using hardware and software that gets the job done without the
need to 'impress' onlookers with the flashing lights and
bells-n-whistles. :-)
