Yep I did weights for years then 10 years ago whoops, kids came along and that fell by the wayside. Now I have a dodgy shoulder and am trying to strengthen up again but am having trouble getting past ~2KG weights! (the pink ones you get from Kmart). I'm working towards 7KG (a manly blue colour) but things flair up and I drop back down. I really regret letting my upper bod get so weak over the years. Lower bod / general fitness is taken care of by cycling to work but sitting at a desk day / some of the night is not healthy.
I got a hernia from playing ring fit adventure on the nintendo for a week haha. At a certain age I don't think anything other then light cardio is actually helping your body. I seem to just injure myself and make myself miserable every time I try to do any strength training.

Couple of 486 boxes which, in the current market, are buy-it-now bargains. Damn I wish I could justify snapping up that IBM. It's one of the last ValuePoint 486's, with VLB. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/153791341312?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&fromMakeTrack=true https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1994-DO...268972?hash=item23cf269a6c:g:d7UAAOSwPpJeIR8~
That IBM would be a great choice with the S3 864 onboard video, add 1meg of vram for 2meg and that's as good as you'll ever need, personal preference but I would add a am5x86-133 top computer!
One hell of a C64 lot here and there's a 'best offer' option on it currently - might be worth a shot if you're a local (QLD): https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Vintage...m2adf83c316:g:PfYAAOSwgiVeJgKd&frcectupt=true EDIT: And an interesting looking socket 7 motherboard - strange form factor but has onboard Mach64 and great Crystal sound: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Intel-s...262615?hash=item5b6b8a7f57:g:wOkAAOSwHbleJZG8
Not a strange FF at all, that's what all early Pentium boards looked like, an extended AT. The only thing strange is the onboard graphics and sound on those proprietary connectors.
I Google'd the Intel PBA number (Product Board Assembly) and it's a Intel Advanced/AS Atlantis Motherboard. Scroll down on this thread over on the Vogons forum and you'll find the PDF manual for the board. Never had much to do with early Intel motherboards so honestly never knew it existed until now. Quite nifty how it has onboard graphics and sound.
Looking at the Pentium 1 board in question, it has it's own dedicated memory chips - upgraded in sockets to the left side. Later Pentium II era boards had more integrated solutions, usually horrible, that shared system RAM.
