Speaking of retro computers, I have gotten rid of a few items recently but i still have a nice working ZX81 with a Ram pack which doesn't wobble ( clever hook that fixes it firmly in place ), a beautiful Original Atari 800 which I'm on the verse of selling even though I don't want to, plus a couple ATARI Stfm's and a rather stunning Amiga 1200.
I only use my QL & Aurora now though as I haven't the room for the others.

Yes, internet connectivity for four of the above. All as old as about 1999 or farther back, with OS's as old as 98SE or QDOS, or as recent as SuSE 10.x and Mac OS 10.3 . The Macs e.g. have been an education. > > I think exposing the younger generation to earlier machines is a wonderful way of reigniting waning enthusiasm. My nephews thoroughly enjoy playing on the earlier micros, and they love the QL in particular . . . it just looks so cool (in their words). > "My life? What life? I have no life. O insuportable!
