If you're interested in the latest gear, you're in the wrong place. If you're interested in making the most of old hardware and software, saving money, and repairing stuff rather than chucking it in the bin, welcome!
Brassic: phonetic alternative to 'Boracic', which comes from 'Boracic lint': Cockney Rhyming Slang for skint or lacking in finances.
My first PC ran at 25Mhz and had a 40mb hard drive. This was at a time where the Pentium had just been released: I'm always a couple of generations behind. But this means I get all my gear either cheaply or for free. And even though I only play old games, I can now experience them in a way I could never afford to experience back when they were new. Want General MIDI sound in 386 games? Got it. Want SLI Voodoo2? Got it. Want a Ultra320 SCSI hard disk in a 486? Got it!
