I'm thinking there might be enough of an audience for a HUMBUG Interest
Group for those with systems that were built out of junk parts.  :)

The agenda of the group would be to trade parts, identify and organise
raids on disposals and the computer recyclers, be knowledgeable of Unix
and other RealOperatingSystems for non- or under-80386s, and taunt all
those poseurs who think they're UB3R=31!T3 because they have a [586+]
Unix box comprised of off-the-shelf bits and a turnkey installation. :)

We could call it "SPUIG", as in "Spare Parts Unix Interest Group"...
(Any better suggestions out there??)
