(...) This reminds me of when as a student I went on a work experience assignment with a computer company and my home computer was more powerful than anything they had. They then bought a 486 33mhz server. I wondered at the time if it was just so (...) (21 years ago, 1-Sep-03, to lugnet.loc.ca.on)

I got this 486 - 33Mhz with 8Mb RAM that taking up too much space and all I can think of using it for is a boat anchor and forgetting to put a rope on it.

....speaking of Sears, I was going to mail off a package at the post office at my local shopping mall, I decided to check out Sears. I seen they had a 75% off clearance sale (on Starwars sets). I got over $60 worth of LEGO for $15. I thought that (...) (21 years ago, 31-Aug-03, to lugnet.loc.ca)
