My apologies as I am having trouble quoting the previous messages: I'm
still rusty! ;)
The TL/2 is an 80286, 8MHz I believe. I still have a handful of VGA CRTs and
some Macintosh CRTs. I have a pretty decent retro collection and could kick
myself at the stuff I threw away over the years that we considered "junk" back
then. My first PC (after the CoCo 2) was an Amstrad PC1512 (8086), and I went
straight from there to an 80486, the first computer I learned how to build.
I need to look into the FidoNet business. It would be cool to see if I could
reclaim my old node and setup a mailer. I still have a landline, and even
though it's VoIP, I can sustain connections at 9600 reliably. I'd love to
hear the computers calling each other again and exchanging mail once a day or
so. I wish I still had all my old BBS backups, but I probably through them
all out when I turned 16 :(
