"Very old" meaning five to seven years maybe? There must be a lot around that old. I suspect one fifteen years old would be sufficient for me, if it had a working OS I liked. It was only about three years ago that I gave up my 386. How about systems for the "third world", locally and elsewhere, those who don't believe in buying a new car and a new computer every year, as well as those who can't afford one? > People with new computers can easily install linux, people with older computers have better luck using older software. But I remember someone with Linux on an early equivalent of a palmtop in about '95. What happened to such systems? > Softare that was written around the time that his computer was new would likely be easier, however he would be missing out on a lot of the benefits of newwer software. Hey, lead me to it. (WeIl, now I'll wait and see on that.) I haven't found anyone who'd talk about such. Does it have alias (or some kind of macro) capabilities? That's the most under-used feature I've seen, or at least been able to recognize, on Linux.
