I had an old Leading Edge we were using for AP for many years.  Date on the
Motherboard said 1993.  We moved AP over to WIN2K, it was kinda sad to see
the old PC in the dumpster so I kept it around a few more days trying to
find a new job for it.  I'm putting the thing in one of our stand-alone AM
stations to log the Sage.  Old, but still handy!

Maybe .. but a former longtime radio network correspondent DID win a
quarter of a $100M payout .. taking about 14 million bucks in one
shot  three years ago.
He's David Rush ... who worked for many years in Washington for Mutual and
NBC.
You can find a story about the Salvation Army's refusal of a hefty donation
from him at

Regarding DOS ... I still have a fully functioning Leading Edge 286 ..
running 3.2 .. because that's the last version for an old news editing
software program that's still on the machine. But it is rarely turned on.
