I've finally stumbled upon your post, after reading through all the comments this has gotten.

They definitely don't build 'em like they used to! The Pentium 1 133mhz system I used for a while after leaving is still in top notch shape today. I opened it up last year and there's no dust, rust or corrosion at all (and this is after it sat in a heavily tropical atmosphere for a few years recently). The hard disk is in perfect shape too, the whole thing runs like new.

I wonder how well the Osborne 486 would be running if I still had it, or if someone ever salvaged it out there and is running it today. Kind of a crazy thought but it's a shame to think that it's very likely become part of a landfill.

Absolutely. I still have my old machines. Some of them may be dusty but all of them are as clean as new.

I'd happy that you are taking your time to reply to this thread. How are you doing this days? What are you working on?
