[NBLUG/talk] Commodore nostalgia

[Jippen]

Man, I feel so left out. I started on Apple ][ playing games in K-2nd
grade, and the first home pc was a win 3.1 system. My first computer
was a pentium 166 Mhz. Didn't even get into linux until I was 17.

It's out in the shed, somewhere, might have to dust it off, as I've heard it's now trivial to put Debian on it.  Nothing sadder than a cold, powered down server...
