Yeah, but who actually keeps one. People keep old obsolete C64's, Atari's, Mac's, and even Radio Shacks Cocoa's, but who keeps an old PC.
 
Not I says the blind smerf.

smerf actually has a valid point here.
I've got an old Coco3 that I've had since it was new (and I recently hunted down an Atari 130XE), but old PCs really don't have much appeal.
 
So when I wanted to try AROS, I had to go out and search for some compatible parts. I wound up using a Barton cored Athlon XP 3000+ in a KT400 motherboard with an Nvidia 7600GT video card.
 
I'm sure I could have used newer components, but these are pretty well supported.
 
BTW - I will throw AROS fans this bone, at its current rate of development AROS could wind up being the best NG OS available in the near future.
