> They're paid the same rate for govt contracts as everyone else no? No. Where did you get the idea the government pays the same rate for every contract/contractor? Defense procurement is notoriously complicated, and there are

What’s the point of a retro machine from ‘98? Any application from that era should run natively on a modern machine. It’s past the point of games locked to a certain MHz or special purpose video drivers. If you want a CRT, just get a CRT. W
