Sir, I have an 8086 that is both an FTP server, and also used as my IRC client at times. On the internet. Also, it makes a good banking computer, because if anyone broke in, they aren't going to steal it, or the floppy disks the bank data is actually on. Also, I REALLY love those buckling spring keyboards, and a real monochrome screen telling me how poor I really am.
Also, this 8086 has logged enough days on IRC to actually help fight some crimes that happened on a channel I opped when I wasn't looking. Data forwarded to police, arrests made. So, I find that quite useful, and it DID something.
