RE: The facts on why we MUST oppose gun Confiscation; to preserve what freedom we have left!
Nine I can reach right now. maybe a dozen in the office. All OS's I even have a CPM machine in the garage. I don't have a SUN system running, but I pretty much have the rest.
Make that 10 where I can reach them, forgot the Rasberry Pi....

Holy cow! And they all run?
One is down with windows viruses. It is here for me to fix for my Sister. I plan to install Ubuntu after I strip a few documents off the drive.
The rest. yes. They are a tool for me.
There are another 100 or so here, that could be built up if I need them.
:)>what the?? a hundred or so??
May be more, I don't inventory, they are tools for me.
How many sockets do you have? Screwdrivers? Hammers? Same difference for me, just tools of the trade.
I still have a laptop with the last good windows program on it, 3.11...and a DOS machine!
:)>Most people just throw away old machines, you sure you're not a hoarder?
Do you throw away old tools? One of the machine tools I fix runs dos, ran part of it on the dos machine to test part of the hardware.
They are just tools. I still repair one piece of lab gear that is tube type equipment! The FAA won't let them upgrade it...so I have a tube tester too.
Never boring!
:)>Never boring? for you maybe.
Fixing technology I was never taught about, makes me reach to be able to do the repairs. But I charge them out the ass, because no one else can do the job!
That is why it stays interesting...always have to learn new things.
