I had an 8088 machine too, but something else sticks in my mind.

Many ... many years ago, our office was putting together a group purchase of 486 motherboards. I was waffling on spending the money. That Sunday, the opening hymn was on page 486. That made up my mind! I was on a mission from GOD!!! Laugh | :laugh:

And besides $486 is cheaper unless you get pick and demand $80486 !!!

Footnote: There was a reason the boards were cheap... flaky DMA made the floppy drive useless. After putting up with non-sense for years I gave the POS away with the provision that it never be sold... which it was Confused | :confused: !!! The cows came home when the buyer complained to me about the board and I filled him in on the truth!!!
