# I have an A3010 and RPC
The A3010 can get internet access via a 38K serial link to the RPC :-)

I still use the RPC for IRC access, as it has the best IRC client ever written.

# i bow down before your collection of out-dated tat!
at one time i had a cellar full of old stuff, all working, including:

Cifer Megaframe
Honeywell Bull XPS 100
4 x Acorn R140 RiscOS machines
DECStation 5100 (Ultrix)
VAXStation 3100 (Ultrix)
and a ruck of 386 boxen running linux

they were either junked, sold off or given away.

our leccy bill was fucking huge

# doh!
Did you know RISC OS is still going? It's on version 5 or so now, in a PC called Iyonix, running on an Intel XScale CPU. If they weren't Apple Mac rip-off prices, I'd have one (£2000+).

# Yep, still alive.
There's even a virtual RiscPC software for windows, but I've not used that.
