I've got an old Dell desktop out in the garage that has an 80286 processor.
I bought it from a local electronics recycler for (IIRC) U$149 w/Windoze
2000 as the OS. My last tower (not the one I used as a foot warmer) was 
another Dell running XP. It had been my main box until MicroSnot dropped
all support for that OS. I replaced it with an HP desktop that was really
a laptop board in a big desktop case. That got replace with the current
Dell Optiplex  7020. The XP tower got shipped off to Sean in Tennessee to
use as a BBS machine.

How can I ndrag this back to cooking to avoid a rocket from the moderator?

I know! I'll bung in an "ontopiciser" in the form of a recipe ...

Made this nyesterday evening. Served it warm. Remains went to the ice
box for future reference.
