Well

If we're taking a trip down memory lane, I had an original IBM AT   built 
like a tank!

I used it up until a few years ago in the garage as a big step to get in 
the loft space.

I'm around there too. 20MB Seagate MFM drive in an Epson QX-16. This was 
actually a dual-processor system (8088 for DOS and Z80 for Epson's CPM 
clone TPM). I had fired it up just for the heck of it a few years ago 
and it came up without problems. They don't make 'em like they used to.
