I rationalize all the time I spend tinkering with my assortment of
obsolete computers (DOS 5.0 anyone?) by regarding it as entertainment
rather than a particle application of my time.
I'm certain (and my dear wife will back me up on this) that if I junked
all my old computers and devoted the same amount of time to paying work
I'd be able to afford a top of the line thinkpad.
But you know I wouldn't be able to leave it alone (got to fiddle with
something since my car has gotten too complicated to tweak) and when I
fouled it up I'd have hosed a multi thousand dollar computer instead of
a second hand antique.
Besides I've just about got WIN98 figured out (the answer is to omit as
much as possible with WIN98 Lite) and I don't relish having to figure
out XP.
I might switch up to WIN 2k since the author of WIN98 Lite has a WIN 2k
in beta but for the moment WIN98 works for me.
