DarkStar2032 coming from the northwoods of Minnesota.
The IBM PCjr was my first computer.
Don't get too excited, this was like 1995.
And I only had a black and white TV for a monitor.
We were quite poor.
I still have it and it still works after all this time. For as shortsighted as big blue can be they rarely seem to slouch in the quality department.
But I won't allow it to sit idle.
I have this philosophy about antiques. If I own it, it better work and do work, even if that's just playing games. Other wise they belong in a museum.
No decorative antiques.
Along with peanut, I also have a Power Macintosh 5200-225, an Apple //e, an Apple][gs, and an IBM ps/2 model30 286(Work in Progress)
Someone once asked me why I collect and repair old computers when modern computer can do everything they can plus so much more.
Probably the same reason guys restore and drive Ford Model T's or antique tractors.
Honestly half the fun I get is Hot-rodding these machines to their maximum capability. and judging buy how popular the jrIDE is, I must not be alone.
