You win for having your computer in the future.

Toshiba T1000 here. 20Mb - yeah that's Mega-byte - hard drive. Needs
memory slot card to get 2Mb of RAM. 8086 processor. Got it in 1991. Back
in the day when 286 was King.

Up until 4 or 5 years ago I had my old Toshiba T3100 sitting in our office
running a S&P spreadsheet that was light-years ahead of anything our company
gave us to use. Multi-billion dollar company and it was barely 4 - 5 years
ago that they gave us MS Office and the ability to save any files on the
company computers.

Dimensions: 12.2" W x 3.1"H x 14.2"D
Weight: 15 lbs.
CPU: 80286-8 (8/4.77MHz)
RAM memory: 640KB (Conventional)
Video RAM: 32KB
Drives:One
720KB 3.5" FDD
20MB hard disk drive
Operating system included: Toshiba MS-DOS 2.11 or 3.2

then. Why?

Just wondered, since you describes it as an 8086 acquired when 286s were
already the going thing.
