I bought my first computer in 1993 and many afterwards. I use to think that I could get around quite well. However, whatever I knew must had fallen out of my ear!:laugh: Nowadays I am struggling just to do basic operations. :smilie_auslachen: Please forgive my upside down photo. :laugh::laugh::laugh:

Broke, got my first one in 1995. Remember good old dial up? A O L. I guess some still need it.
I took my IBM PC with me when I moved to the Federated States of Micronesia in 1985. Because I was a big cheese, I had access to some overseas satellite circuits, I was able to dial into boards at a 110 baud rate. It was so slow that one could see each character display on the monitor one at a time. But it was access to the real world. Things were quite primitive on the island then. Elect icy and water was turned of nightly. We have come a long way since then.

Holy cow Fred! Looks like a land speed record. I'm glad for you that its running great. Was it just a normal clean and lube? Nice to buy an engine that isn't a problem. Enjoy it.
I did nothing except move it from my desk to the garage layout. I was really surprised how good and smooth it ran, frontwards and backwards! Makes me want to get a 471 or/and 472.
