You gotta be KIDDING. I throw away machines better than that. BALLAST!
PAPERWEIGHT! Hehe.

I mean, around here you can get a used P200 with 32 megs, 2 gig hard disk, etc. etc.
including mouse keyboard and monitor for $200 or so. WTH would you even think about
using a 386? OR EGA???? Man EGA has been dead for a LONG time, wouldn't expect
anything much to work with it. In fact I wonder if Win95/8 even know about EGA. I
suspect there will be no drivers for it.

Off course I was kidding ;)

But it wasn't a lie, I still have this computer - though it would not
run anymore as some cables are missing that I needed for other PCs. The
Monitor is long gone too off course.
I just keep it to remind me, how stupid I was to buy such a high end PC
when it just came out : it went down from about 14,000 US$ for the whole
system to below 5,000 US$ within few months.

So what. Roland, in his usual limited thinking capacity, should have EASILY anticipated this move and either simply ignored all the non-closed-beta test bug reports, or have disabled such users from using the beta in the FIRST place. But, no, as usual, Roland is REACTIVE instead of ACTIVE.
