About a week ago, I came into posession of an IBM Intellistation. Dual 866mHz P3, 512M RAM, SCSI hard drives. Not too shabby for free. (There was "something wrong with it," and this guy's daughter had just tossed it out in the yard. He was looking for a way to properly dispose of it. I offered to take it home, and discovered that the video card was shot. Boom, free server. I don't feel bad... the previous owner had installed Win98.)

I still have my promotional pre-release copy of OS/2 Warp 4.

Updating LJ from a 100% IBM system. Dude, the last time I was running OS/2 LiveJournal didn't even exist. Nor, for that matter, did these guys, who have turned a dusty old piece of fond reminiscence into something that will actually function on modern hardware.

I only stopped using OS/2 in the first place because IBM started charging for updates and there was jack shit for modern driver support. Apparently both problems have been solved, so I may well be keeping this configuration. Especially if Odin will run Civ3...
