I still have my TI30 calculator from high school that still works... kind of.
Always wondered what it would fetch on Ebay.

Remember it, you bet. I own 2 of them purchased in the early '80s plus a fancy 14 inch monitor. I sometime play Mule on it along with several other games.
I also have an Amiga which is even better.

I miss my old 5150 keyboard. That sucker was built like a tank. And the feel and click were most satisfying.

I want one of those.
It was the 2nd computer I ever programmed in machine language. The TRS-80 Model III was the first.

I bought a ‘64 with the money I scraped up doing odds and ends when I was a teen. I spent almost every waking moment on that computer and bought every C-64 magazine I could get my hands on. My Parents thought I was obsessed. They we’re right.
Computing may have been crude and slow back then, but man, was it fun!

WOW I still have mine. Ok, its in a box in the garage but I still have it. I still have my Atari 800XL. It still works and so do most of the games on the 5.25" floppies. I fire it up now and again for kicks. The whole mess with 2 daisy-chained 1050 floppy drives would probably get about 50 bucks on eBay. But I ain't selling.

I sometime play Mule on it along with several other games.M.U.L.E. was an awesome game! I had an Atari 1200XL and adored that game.
There is even a version that will run on Windows XP!

Computing may have been crude and slow back then, but man, was it fun! Remember sitting at the keyboard all night typing in BASIC code from the latest 'Byte" magazine? Then typing 'run' and getting line errors? Time to go back and look for typos. What drudgery!
But you're right...it was fun.
