@nina_kali_nina That is good, I don't think there is a single licensed software in my 486 xD

I also have a small 386 with 20 MHz—cool stuff.

@nina_kali_nina Umm, so I see one of those pizza box Sun machines on Facebook Marketplace - is that something I should pick up to play with?

@queroseno apparently we even had a real Doom copy, but if course it doesn't work on this machine except for the text mode

@yoasif if you can afford it, and want to run some Unix™, then it's a good choice for a beginner (beware, requires a sync on green support in your monitor)

@nina_kali_nina That Sun SPARCstation though 😍 It might even still run recent versions of #OpenBSD!

@nina_kali_nina Now that you mention, Jazz Jackrabbit, Raptor and Screamer were original copies.
There is a Doom text mode?

@nina_kali_nina And there is a nice, loud dot matrix printer! 9 or 24 pins?
By the way, these old printers still work with Linux.

@nina_kali_nina It's what peak real-mode computing looks like

@till It's a 9-pin, and yes, I use it with Ubuntu for quick man page-ing; it's surprisingly fast for text printing
