October 1986, if memory serves correctly. Got mine in March 1987
and was using it up until middle of this year (power supply fizzled
out, decided it wasn't worth replacing). How many computers these
days can do productive work for 8 full years while running on
essentially the same CPU and bus it was bought with? "Planned
obsolescence" is unavoidable these days. Nothing is designed to last
longer than about 18 months before you gotta run out and buy faster
and better hardware to do the same things you've always been doing.
Newsgroups trimmed down, and one oldie but a goodie tossed in. ;-)
