Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

MODERATORS
Because things break down eventually, and when it comes time to buy replacement parts you discover that they're effectively impossible to find. Then instead of having a nice, planned transition period you've got like a weekend to cobble together something to get it working again.
Hardware that runs DOS well isn't that hard to find though. There's even new modern-ish motherboards designed for embedded systems (like robots that control production lines) that still have ISA and PCI slots to support legacy hardware, since those embedded systems are designed to last a very long time.
For what it's worth, I know that some places that run old systems like that have virtualized it - they have much newer systems and run the old software in a VM.
