Haha...I have an old laptop still - a Packard Bell Diplomat that's running 3.11. I powered it up last year during a SpiceWorks Corps meetup. Still works! We had this great event where we did show-and-tell of the oldest piece of hardware we had.

When I was in the Army, I got exposed to this:



This should be a fun thread....hope to see some other antiquities...

And @Stephen Schneiter - thanks for the website...

Don't forget that @Teresa Nash brought out the Wayback Machine during her TTT series...also a great time sink.

I an involved in a gaming community - one that's been around for about twenty years. I showed them the WBM to show them previous iterations of the site - a tribute to many hours of productivity sacrificed to destroying aliens or each other on the fields of gaming battle.

And then we sacrificed more productivity hours reliving how we wasted productivity hours.
