I think I've destroyed all of my old AutoCAD programs.  I did keep some
performance metrics on old machines tho.  I.e., on an IBM AT339 (286) for a
750k file, it took 8m40s to load and 1m43s to redraw.  We had to spend
around 4k to get an Nth Engine graphics card that would do near real time
redraws/zooms/pans and later software apps made that obsolete.

I use to use vdisks up to about 1.5MB, seemed files got a bit instable once
they got close to that size.  Man, we'd spend hours trying to save minutes
back in the day....
