-> Sticking with CP/M for as long as I did (apparently long after a lot of folks
-> in here moved to pc clone hardware) and then moving to and staying with
-> XT-class hardware for as long as I did,  I've upgraded since then,  but only in
-> small steps and usually late in the game.  Even now I'm at least a couple of
-> generations behind the bleeding edge,  or behind what's being sold in most new
-> computers these days.  But that's all right,  I have one heck of a lot less
-> money invested in the hardware here.  As long as what I'm using does what I
-> need it to do I'll keep using it.  If I won the lottery or something (which I
-> don't play :-),  then I'll toss all this stuff into a big pile and get some
-> "new" hardware that's current,  but in the meantime I have some other
-> priorities for my spending.

 Sounds like a parallel of my Computer Progress. I got in late but my
CPM was the Commodore 128 that I stuck with until the 386's becasue
popular. Then upgraded to a XT clone. Well into the Pentium era I
upgraded to a Cyrix 486DLC CPU(Really a 386 on Steroids). :-)
 Right now I am typing on my AMD 200 Mhz and my "Hot Rod" system out on
the shop bench is a AMD 1 Ghz
Realisticly for what I do I see almost NO difference between the 200 Mhz
machine and the 1 Ghz machine.
