Guest Cropduster Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Hey Guys - I just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. I am new to your forums but not new to computers. I started building them in 1985 and never looked back. I ran a Bulletin Board (non-internet) for 12 years using PCBoard software. I actually ran a Rat Shack Model 4 as my first computer and very soon after bought a genuine IBM XT with floppy drives and no hard drive. I immediately ordered a clone machine that doubled my speed to 8 Mhz! That is what I started the board on because it had (2)20 Meg drives! Anyway, it sounds like I may be in good company here. I have had to learn some HP3000 stuff at work among other things. Now I recently retired and need to spend more time in what I really love, the Old PC Thanks for allowing me to join you guys.Cropduster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripredacus Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 If we had a "GRiDCase that went under water and has no power supply and takes 30 minutes to boot off a Toshiba DOS disk when hooked up to a printer power adapter" forum I would have made a better greetings.
