  When Arkansas Children's Hospital in Little Rock was discarding all their
old computer hardware, a friend of my brother's (I didn't know him at the
time) got an 8088 XT, with 640K of RAM, a 3.5" and a 5.25" floppy drive,
a monochrome green monitor, a mouse, and a keyboard, with DOS 3.2 on it.
That became the birthplace of The Thunderbolt BBS in May, 1992.

 JM>    That replaced my 286 I brought used, which replaced my Commie.

  Was that a computer from Russia??
