or still living really.

spotted this antique 486/33Mhz machine today and wondered how many other pieces of marvellous engineering out there are still in production?

circa 1993?

I still have IBM XT (8086@8Mhz) and AT (80286@8Mhz), but the Mac+ and the Commodore 64 are long gone...

edit: :oops: wow! That 486 is <i>still being used in production environment</i>?!!!

Really? That's anywhere from $1500 - $3600 on Ebay. Quite the gift.

Yup -somewhere in the early 90s. At that time you had choice of a 486-33 or 486-50 - the only thing that was different, if I remember correctly was the bus speed.

I have a Mac Plus with a Radius 16MHz accelerator, A copy of Windows 3.0 in the original box with all disks (3/12 and 5 1/4) a Motorola Macintosh Clone from maybe 1997 or so, and a Macintosh 8100AV from about the same time.

Hopefully that photo isn't of Sony's current server farm - although, that might explain the security breach...

An old friend more than likely will pass on either because of a bad back.

Really? I thought more in the $700 range. No matter, he is going to put it on display from what he told me.
