What, Hugh throws a computer out? Noooooo!

If it has a parallel port, I know people who use computers of a similar age
for real-time control in art and music shows. FreeDOS seems to be the OS of
choice for those lovable weirdos.

Then again, I was at a retro computing meetup the other week where someone
demoed a perfectly working Friden 132 calculator from the mid-60s. It had
an acoustic delay line for memory, and the keyboard physically locked while
calculating.

Cheers
Stewart
