Conclusion
I've come to one. I am NEVER going to do anything with all those old computer parts in my basement. I'm not an ubergeek anymore. :(
I've been spending some relatively serious time opening up all those boxes of computer parts, monitors, disks, and etcetera that I have accumulated in 18 years of collecting computer things. I'm throwing some out. I'm putting a lot up for free on freecycle, gb-reuse and craigslist. People are coming to take the stuff.
I'm not as sad as I thought I'd be to get rid of this stuff, since I really realize it's just stuff I've been carting around for years, with some notion I'd one day get it working again. Even if I do get it working.... what can I do with an 8088 PC now? I'll leave these little treasures to other people who can use them. (I'm still a little sad).
And for the record, I'll be damned if I get rid of my Uber-286/25 before I try to make THAT work again!
But I probably will still get rid of it.
