Boy, that brings back memories!  Before I got into Linux, my main
machine was an AT&T 7300 (in it's alternate identity as an AT&T 3B1). 
For those who never heard of these, it had a Motorola 68020 (I think)
processor, a whopping 2 MB of RAM, a 40 MB hard drive, a 1200 baud
modem, and AT&T Unix 3.51 with a graphical windowing system (!).  I also
had the Smart Suite of office apps, which pretty much sucked.  Boy do I
feel old...
