All three, actually. :-) For exactly the reasons you listed. I also had fun with some Chicago-area Apple II d-dials (remember those?) where I saw the birth of "welp" and other countless online slang I don't care to repeat :-) -- Jim Leonard ([EMAIL PROTECTED])http://www.oldskool.org/ Want to help an ambitious games project?

Getting one for cheap is unfortunately the hard part. Otherwise, pretty much any old machine will do. To make life easier on yourself, get any laptop with one or more build-in 3.5" drives (don't have to be high-density) so that you can create bootable disks, transfer files, etc. using any modern 3.5" drive. -- Jim Leonard ([EMAIL PROTECTED])http://www.oldskool.org/ Want to help an ambitious games project?

Since I already have a cacophony of oldskool hardware and several Central Point Option Boards, I'm not planning on getting one in the near future. -- Jim Leonard ([EMAIL PROTECTED])http://www.oldskool.org/ Want to help an ambitious games project?
