That's way too extreme (IMHO). Who could keep up that
pace without go broke? ;-) AFAIK bussinesses upgrading
their not-so-older 'puters in a 2 years cycle. It's
escaped me, though, why they tends to doing that at the
same time...

The current list description are as follows:
Any discussions of older PC, low resource PC, and DOS
Internet. Appropriate topics include but are not limited
to:
* Older PC: IBM PC and compatibles; PC/XT 8086, 8088,
XT/AT 80286, 80386, and 80486.
* Low resource PC: Earliy Pentiums and above with
insufficient memory and/or hard drive space.
* DOS internet: Any DOS-based internet clients -- So far
this is the most efficient way for "true survivor PC's"
(8088 8086 80186 80286) to access the internet.
Also related operating systems (i.e. DOS variants, tiny
Linuxes), operating environments (i.e. Windows 3.x, GEOS/
NewDeal), software (in general), hardware, pheripherals,
troubleshooting, tip & tricks, issues, etc.
* There are some partial variations:
* "Any discussions of older/obsolete/classic PC's,
low resource PC's, and DOS Internet."
* The original/classic versions:

As you might already knew, English is not my native language.
I might not that bright either. So there would be some odd
or redundant wording here and there (not to mention grammar,
there's no temporal differences in Indonesian language ;-).
So perhaps any english "native speaker" here could suggest
a polished list description? I don't mind local dialect
versions, BTW. Could be either news standard, US, UK, or
even Texas... ;-)
Off course you will be credited if we all agreed to use
your version. It's even possible to rotate all the dialect
variations in the list homepage (just like banner exchange).
