In memory of 286

I fondly remember the 286 computer we had way back in 1996. I did not know then that 286 meant 80286 but would proudly say, "We have a 286!" to anyone who asked me what computer we had.

Those were the times when the floppy drive was huge - the floppies needed to be kept carefully in a plastic case. When having 'Prince of Persia' on the computer was a prestige issue.

And 'delete *.*' seemed like the world's most powerful thing. And the only song I had on my computer was a small midi file of the old song 'Roop tera mastana'.

In loving memory of this 286 that rests in peace in an old cupboard now. Amen!
