The computer I use now is very stable. It's on a UPS and runs
24/7.
I put 32 Gigs of RAM in it, and it can handle virtually anything.
I'd hate to have anything go wrong with it with all the crap I've
added over the years.

My computer is my lifeline to my family and the world. I would
hate for anything to happen to it. It's relatively new (2 years
old) so it just keeps chugging along. Hopefully for a while yet.


Computers have come a long way from the 8088, 386, etc. In a few
months it was outdated and could not keep up. For most of us doing
email and web surfing, even a slow by today's standards is pretty
good.

Anyone want to buy a 1200 baud modem?

Ah, the olden days of dialup. :-)


the BBS's

I never got into those. My hubby did though. I came ON in 1992 and
went directly to newsgroups. They suited me and I've stayed here ever
since.

bbs's were before usenet ,
they got used because it was all there was ,
i remember always having a punch card in my shirt pocket ,
bbs's got rid of that except on the business bands

Like I said, I never used them. It wasn't my thing.
