    Way back in '99 I was a student worker for the IT group at uni. We were decommissioning about 350 486 machines. Once the drives were cleared they were taken off the books and we were told to take them to the dumpster.

    Very few made the dumpster. I ended up with about 14 of them. I did a whole lotta of network projects, setup routers on them, and even had a pile as a coffee table for a bit.

    They ran like champs for a long time, but eventually didn’t make the long move to another house in about 2005.
