<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Just when I thought the old CRT was the worst I’d have
to deal with, the archeological site known as “The Cottage”
unearthed a true relic: An ancient IBM XT complete with amber CRT! Yup,
this powerhouse boasts an Intel 8088 and not one, but TWO of the incredible
5.25” floppy drives, and the GIGANTIC 20 MiB hard drive! I haven’t
tried firing it up yet and didn’t end up bringing it back to the city
(have to check that my car is certified to carry such a load), so I have no
idea if it actually still works. While it is an item from my childhood, I
simply can’t keep it any longer. Any ideas on what to do with such
a beast?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
