Yeah, I've noticed it, too, but I expect that things may pick up a
little during the northern hemisphere winter.

On the other hand, with the ready availability of cheap Pentium and
Pentium-II class hardware, at least here in the USA, there's becoming
less and less of an incentive to spend the effort involved in tinkering
with older systems.

On yet another hand, I still have a 486SX with BL1, that's working just
fine... keep meaning to try BL3, but don't seem to find the time to get
to it.
