Hi Ben  
Yep, I've got an old '386DX40, a '486 and a pentium 100 here in
the shack.  All run fine with all my software.  I've even seen
postings where guys have had to install TSR's in the new fast
computers to slow them down to run some of the RTTY software. 
Don't make sense to me to do that when you can buy an old $10
computer to do the same thing.  73
