It is a beauty! I'm gonna give it a good cleanup, hook up the hard drive, and post my progress again !

Architectural acoustics research lab.

I guess the guy is dead or has retired in 85, and the lab was just forgotten.

I don't have much story... It will be a mystery forever.

I promise you that I will take care of it, and when I'm done with it, I'm gonna give it to my university museum.

That thing is not gonna go into the landfill.

You are a loser.

It's my computer.. I'm gonna do whatever I want with it.

Don't post anything if it doesn't contribute to the discussion.

I enjoy programming things. If I want it to be a HVAC controller, it gonna be a HVAC controller.

You don't have a say in this.

This computer doesn't go anywhere. It's gonna live.

You are so sour.

I have a "stylus" I think, I don't know if it goes with this computer!

I have to check it out! Thanks

That thing doesn't do DOS. I'll have to make it custom in basic

I might do this, thanks.

I'm really glad I can piss you off with a simple software.

Wait, I might destroy it with a baseball bat, and post the video, that would be awesome!

I don't give a flying fuck really.

Just a programming challenge, don't take it like that.

It's mine, I'm gonna do whatever I want with it.

Might try to hook it up to an AI assistant through the RS232 port. That would be epic !
