What, Hugh throws a computer out? Noooooo! If it has a parallel port, I know people who use computers of a similar age for real-time control in art and music shows. FreeDOS seems to be the OS of choice for those lovable weirdos. Then again, I was at a retro computing meetup the other week where someone demoed a perfectly working Friden 132 calculator from the mid-60s. It had an acoustic delay line for memory, and the keyboard physically locked while calculating. Cheers Stewart
