I still have that old Packard-Bell PC intact on a shelf in my basement...75Mhz CPU, 250MB RAM, the 850MB HDD, integrated motherboard, keyboard & mouse...I just can't see throwing something away when it still works...Even if it's so old that nothing today will even run on it...

Somewhere, I still have Win95 OSR2 on 25 floppy disks, for installing on an old Compaq laptop with no CD drive...And, of course, DooM...
