Proably the most fun computer was the VIC-20 and when I upgraded to

that. It still runs.

You should donate it to a computer museum.

I would, but I have a problem with old pieces like this - I tend to
keep them.

Besides, you can't get video games like the ones that ran on the C-64
- in particular "Omega Race" which I still enjoy playing once in a
while. :)

There is a ham here in Woodstock who still has his packet node running
on a C-64.

I've got my packet node, weather station and KAM running on a old 486
machine which, for my money, was one of the best processors ever
designed. It's gone through one power supply, but still runs like a
champ. I don't think it's been turned off in ten years or so (power
interruptions excepted).
