Hi Paul,
Just thought it was funny because just earlier today I was going
through another box and found my well turned, hand-printed, Glide
manual. Was a fun trip thumbing through that.
Heh, I had one of those too! :-)
And what's more, I actually have two "nostalgia machines" which I plug
in once in a while. The first has a Cirrus Logic CL-GD5428 card (1MB,
yessir), and the other has a Voodoo2 12MB. I'll probably keep those till
I die, just because that was the time when it all started for me, even
though every time we move my s/o asks why I waste space with those old
computers...

I'm actually embarrassed to admit all of the old hardware I have
"shelved" in my closet here at the house. Old 486 motherboards (66 mhz
up to a DX4x100). Probably the saddest one is the old VFX-1 VR helmet.
Pretty cool for consumer electronics. Hard to imagine now the
frankenstein like setups to get something like that running: 3dfx
chained to a diamond video card chained to the VR card.
The fun part is when I finally decide something really is dead and I
disassemble it down to the last screw to show my 5 year old son how
things work. We stripped a hard-drive down to the platters and magnets
the other night.
It is part of his heritage after all. ;)
