.. was gonna say, if that's an AT keyboard and not an XT, you could test it with the 486..
never mind.
Truth is I never me anyone that really liked
the original XT keyboard, AT yes, XT, no.
(the grammar girls are gonna go after this one, duck!)
Just think. Perhaps sometime in the future, the US gets into another Cold war with Russia. The Joseph MacCarthy's of that era will track down the names of all the supporters that show up in court, and the protest. All of you will be ostrasized from your communities, and will no longer be able to get a job. It will be ugly.
I wouldn't start counting the cash yet.
Seems to be a few eccentrics out there paying big bucks for so called collectable computers. What
for? Bragging rights? A lot of collectable things
are still useful, or at least have some artistic
or culturistic value. What value is an old mac
(for example) that you can't really fire up and
do anything really useful with in todays computing world ?
Now give me an Altair, a real mans computer:-)
While the Artical makes some good points, it is obviously biased against Intel. Some of the statements are not accurate. The artical should be taken with a grain of salt.
I disagree, E-Business is relatively new to the web. The web / net was doing just fine before the commercial element entered the picture. While it's true that e-commerce has infused more money into increasing bandwidth, it has caused more need for that bandwidth. I can still remember when net users would mail bomb a server out of service for commercial spams. Now we take the commercialism of the net / web for granted. The net made E-business possible, not the other way around.
The company that took OS/2 away from MS and continued to develop the platform dumped it internally a couple of years ago. They have been a Win shop ever since. By the 4th quarter of this year they plan to be running WinY2K corporate wide.

One nice thing about posting on /. is that you get fucking spelling and grammar lessons for free/
You think we've grown? Think again.

You're the second person I've encountered that likes those old keyboards. Email me your name and address and I'll ship you one. Shindler@juno.com

That's the funniest thing I've ever heard
