Well, it was real slow, for one thing (at least it felt like that)
besides those old "blue and nothing"  plasma screens are not exactly a
joy (anymore). Guess I got spoiled! I used to like my old Zenith very
much, using DOS and MS-Works (now: Yuk!). Did some serious work on it
though. 
Hey, that gives me an idea: I'm going to do seminars for people who keep
complaining about their machines. You know: fellows who have real fast
boxes and keep complaining how slow they are. Basic training on an 80286
using minix in timesharing. One guy one the con, another on the tty00,
using a vt100. Let them do a big make and make them SUFFER. Like we
suffered on those old PDP's and boxes of which I forgot the make now.
Oops, I'm getting off topic, here, sorry.

Paul.
