An old friend, brought over a IBM AT that I sold her (new) many ,many years ago.. It won't boot anymore.. can you fix it ,my grand daughters love to play with it... And I said "HEAVEN.. Please let me take it apart and maybe, just maybe.. (dead battery) No Way,, Since august 1985 , this computer has been used, at least once a year. straight DOS, no windows but a menu generator called Point and Shoot, which I still had. Can you believe that the hard drive finally crashed because it was full... truncated some of the files and I managed to recover most of them and re-installed some of them.. and best of all ,after three hours of work.. It booted to " Welcome to the Hal 9000 ",Dave don't touch that", " Do you want todays almanac and horescope"
FANTASTIC !!!!!
Wonder if anything built today would last 21 years, with just a $ 1.50 worth of batteries and a few clicks on the keyboard ?
