I remember I had a 286 that I ran HFO on and a buddy of mine had an XT that he ran Danger Zone BBS off of. It took about an hour and a half for bigbang to create the TW universe. His XT was decked out though, he had 6MB of RAM to my 4. I also remember writing a program to calculate PI based on the "squaring the circle" algorithm. I let it run for 3 days straight on the TRS-80 and I eventually stopped it. It gave me "3.141593" or something like that.
