[geeks] old Windows/DOS games

I'm sure everyone remembers "Kali", the program that let you play
IPX/SPX-network-play-enabled games over the Internet...

When I went to work for Texas.Net in '96, they told me "yeah, we ran the
very first original Kali server here, and its still up and running".

I thought "Wow, it must be a huge piece of hardware".

Nope, it was a Sun 4/110 sitting in a back corner, hooked up to a 19" 
mono monitor, with (I think) 8 or 16M of RAM, running SunOS 4.1.x. 8-)

When we retired the machine, we had a "everyone bring your 1M old SIMMs
to work" day, filled it full of RAM, and played with it for a bit before
we gave it to one of the tech support guys (if I remember correctly).
