hmmm draconis you got me thinking on that one.
I may have one of those it even has an old analog card.
its my grandpas right now but he hardly uses it.
its a single core though, so won't run everything but if I ever
needed it I could use it for gaming.
As for keeping it off the net that would be easy enough.

Hi Tom and Trouble,
All the more reason to have a dedicated, essentially frozen, machine
for playing old games, etc. The less wear-and-tear you can put on
it, using it just for the specific tasks it needs to be, the longer
it is likely to last. Keeping it off the Internet most of the time
would also be a good idea.
