Moat susceptible in the public:
Those who say the birth of the 8088.
Most common symptoms:
When you see a 386 laptop and think : gee it's only $90 !
When you think : wow, win 3.1 looks nice on it !
When you think : wow, look at all the games on it !
When you think : wow "write" works good !
Similar symptoms can occur with desktop 486 and p-75/90 !
Beware of these symptoms.
Dinosaur fever is a spreading to certain types of people.
If you see this happening please rescue these poor souls.

Lost my damn post going to FAQ, [-peep-].
Well just talking sense into them will do the trick.
Personnaly i've bought to much outdated hardware, reassembled it to find out no one really wants it. Ouch.
Have right now 3 486 and small cyrix p-75 (486-133 i beleive have to recheck). Don't now what to do with the damn things. Have sound, cd, win95.
Do other people have this problem, or is it a generation thing ?
I will inoculate myself for futur contacts.

I think Crashman has a small touch of this desease, no disrespect intended, since he still keeps those 486-100s.
BTW, my 4 year old has a 486-100, 16 ram, 1.1 DD, vesa vid, sb-16(original, hard to find), 4X CD . Hell it work's like a charm. She must have over 30 games and progs for kids on that thing. Everything works by golly. Win95. Not throwing that out the door.
I will give my darn 486-66s to charity, but where the hell is that, and will they take them ? Have spent soo many hours on those damn oldie machines, they become like children to me. I on the other hand have contracted this desease and am fighting for my sanity !
Too much coffee , will leave this post before i "meltdown"
