# I know its not RPS but.....
....i wanted to share this with you, I am currently having the house rewired and had to empty the loft out and i was very surprised to find this old Toshiba T2110 486, 12MB RAM with a 500Mb HDD running Windows 95.



What was more surpising is that its been up there approx 12 years, plugged it in and it booted no problem, where as my current dual core Dell throws a fit if its shut down unexpectedly.

Sorry for poor lighting in photo, we are having the house rewired so poor temporary lighting.

# Ace!
Although with regards to modern computers breaking down more often, I would guess it is because we do so much more with computers now more than anything.

# Agreed, to be honest it was just the shock that it just cracked on and booted up making all the lovely clunky noises those ye olde HDD used to make.

# I bet it is super noisy too!

...yes yes Tealeaf i hear you say but it was all above board. :)

I had just totally forgotten it was there, it was sleeping all warm and cosy in the original leather case.
