It wasn't me, but I still support and maintain a set of DOS applications for one of our products. I've got my old development machine (DOS 6.22, Windows 3.1, etc.) in a lab with a sign that reads:
Please Don't Cannibalize This Machine

You are the intrepid one, always willing to leap into the fray! A serious character flaw, I might add, but entertaining.
