[rescue] long shot... anybody got a Gateway 486?

Youngin's!

My first computer was a SYM-1 (an 'improvement' over the KIM-1), which was
replaced by an OSI SuperBoard (Challenger 1 sold as a circuit board, no case,
PS, etc).

Then I got an Atari 800 (first gen), then a DEC Professional 350 when I went
to college in 1983...
