The return of the Commodore 64

[CHEMIKER]

Radio Shack TRS80. Z80 8 bit processor with 16M clock rate and 4K of RAM. Programs/data were stored/loaded via audio cassette tape.

Same here. Learned on it at Radio Shack Computer camp in '81. Computers were like magic to me back then.

At work, I found a NeXTstation that was on its way to surplus & salvage. I rescued it and got it running again. It runs NeXTSTEP, the precursor to Mac OS X. 33 MHz 68040 Motorola processor, 64 MB RAM, 2.88 MB Floppy (rare) and a NeXT MegaPixel monitor. I'm trying to get a hold of a coveted NeXTCube.

Lovingly known as the "Trash" 80

Cool. Does this mean in 5 years time I can upgrade to an amiga 500? Would love to get a hold of some of those old games.
Probably wouldnt be the same without the buckets...... Sweet memories of my rougish teens :thumbup:

We had Intelivision when I was a kid. Top fun. I have about 40 Intelivision games on the PS2. No Dragonfire or Q Bert tho......
