| 1117237 | 2010-07-08 21:25:00 | I hear about what's new and stuff. I will start off ... On a regular basis we have a P3-600 running Windows 2000. Surely some are using something older than that :D A few yrs back, we still had a Win95a on a AMD-200Mhz 32MB but we donated to eDay due t the RAM being not enough for internet, Office was fine thou. Yes, we don't have DVD / HD recorders, we still use VCR and the folks just bought some blank audio cassette tapes :) |

| 1117243 | 2010-07-08 22:38:00 | Also my friend had a rocky mountain basic computer. It was used for manufacturing metal parts. They only stopped using it cause the power unit was dying. The got an electrician and IT Technician in but they said there was nothing they could do. So they sold it off to someone. Wiki: en.wikipedia.org |

| 1117245 | 2010-07-08 23:33:00 | When I want to listen to old wireless programmes that you can't pick up these days on newer sets, I switch on a 1932 Ekco TRF mains radio, the one that has a brown bakelite 'cathedral' case. It has only needed 2 replacement valves since new. :clap | Terry Porritt (14) | ||
