    Yes! Totally agree! I've got both 386SX and 486 class machines but don't really have as much of an attachment to them.

    I guess because the first PC we had at home while I was growing up was a 286 (and we used that baby until it was well and truly worn out, i.e. we got our moneys worth) has influenced my feelings/options on this quite a bit.

    ... I'm currently experiencing synaptic core breach.
    :DDDDDDDDD yes! 286 love! <3 286 is amazing~! <3

    I'm a sucker for getting hardware to do things you wouldn't expect of it. Running a telnettable BBS, web site, news server, email server and IRC off of a cast-off triple-digit celeron box with 256 mb of RAM was what got me into BBSing.

    Running a web site on MINIX with a 286, and being able to use it as a mail server and caching DNS server gave me a soft-spot for 286-class systems (when you could run it in protected mode, that is...)
