Hello,
I don't really have a vintage collection yet. (My oldest PC is a circa 1996 NEC laptop that runs Win95.) But I'm hoping to change that as the years go by. :D
I've been into computers and programming since I was about 12 (a long time ago now. :wink: ). The first PC I bought on my own was an IBM PS/2 50Z along with an NEC monitor back in 1988. I loved that PC. I added a math co-processor, a 2nd hard drive and 2nd 3.5" floppy drive. I ended up donating it in 2000 and have regretted it ever since. I mean, it was for a good cause, but I've really missed that PC. I kept all of my original DOS programs, though, so that's a bit of comfort. (sniff, sniff)
Anyway, I think this is a great forum, and I'm looking forward to finding another 286 to begin my new hobby of vintage PC collecting.
