My second ever development job was on one of these. Setting up multiplexers and an AD converter and then doing the software for data logging.
Sometimes nostalgia just re-opens old scars.

I wrote an invoicing program in 1989 which runs under dBase III. Two business still run it, in a DOS box under Windows 98. It does invoicing, statements with ageing and analysis. I think I charged them R200 at the time. You need to have a parallel dot matrix printer though as I could not get MS-DOS 3.3 to support a USB printer.

Yes it does. I remember Need For Speed 2: Special Edition as being the most epic racing game of all time, I fired it up for the first time in about a decade around three years ago and couldn't believe I used to play it
My old school gaming rig is for classics that have had no competition and therefore aged really well - Quake 2, Future Cop L.A.P.D., Mechwarrior 2, Half Life, etc.
