New still have my Gateway P5-75 Family PC
purchased around 1997. I still boot it up once or twice a year to play Crystal Quest, a great game that is a PC version of the arcade original, and the original's lawyers forced the gamer's version to be removed from circulation.




Satan (impatiently) to Newcomer: The trouble with you Chicago people is, that you think you are the best people down here; whereas you are merely the most numerous.

Consider a p2v transition, unless you're specifically attached to the hardware.

(p2v = physical to virtual, i.e. you get an image of the hard disk and use that to power something like VirtualBox or VMWare or Hyper-V or whatever)
