Complete Spoon
I've finally cleared out my collection of 286-era PC hardware, complete with 5 1/4" floppy drives, PS/2 keyboards and a 14.4kbps US Robotics modem.

If I'm truly honest with myself, I think I'd been keeping them to assemble in the wake of an mid-80's-style global nuclear war. The modem was to establish a rudimentary communications network with other survivors in the new underground age.

You know what's going to happen now that I've thrown them away...? T'uh, eh?

286-era keyboards were, more often than not, 5-pin DIN
