  Hey everybody: A few things...

  Re: Hey everybody: A few things...
 
(...) Since you brought it up, do you mind if I ask a few questions? I'm curious about which CAD programs you've tried on your 486. MLCAD and LeoCad support the mouse.

(...) Any program is going to be slow on a 486. You need a new computer :) YOu can probably get something better than the 486 for little more than $100. Or go search for a Pentium 1 in someone's trash....Don't take this the wrong way--I used a 486 (...) (23 years ago, 24-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad)
