>Few months ago I rebuilt dad's machine - found a Pentium IV with 256M in it and replaced it with my previous motherboard (and bought a cheap dual core Athlon).I guess it ran about eight years - not continuously. Only now I managed to persuade him that these machines suffer more when turned on/off than on standby. And he likes the ten minute turn-off feature for the monitor, finds his way to bed with other lights off.

I used foxbase at 8086 XT with 256kb memory. I'm sure 80286 is enough for lights... :)

My first 80286 was at 12MHZ and it was excellent for me..

I hope it won't gone another old bags old computer memories endless thread... :)
