    i am glad some of you have nice 286s!~ :D the 286 is an under loved CPU. 386+ gets all the attention but the dear 286 gets like no love.
    even the XT and PC gets way more attention than a mere 286 system even the AT gets some attention. but late 286s dont get any love. it saddens me. Thats why i asked who 286 here. Underdog cpu gang! :D 286 is really fast and nice.

    My first computer (back in 1991, when I was 12) was a 286, with 2MB ofRAM and a 40MB HDD. It was *NASA* stuff back then!! I could run most games of the day and do wonderful stuff with it. I even added a mouse and had Win 3.1 installed!!
    That's the comp I became an expert in QBasic with.
