I have wanted a steampunk computer for years.

I know, me too.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Maybe I need to dig up that buried C-64 with two (2) 5 1/4 SSSD floppy disk drives, and OS tape drive (cassette)and mono-green monitor. It could have gone from a “anyone want this” category to a rare item without my noticing. Nah, maybe not!

Had a Commodore 64 that broke down. When I opened it the circuit board was covered with microchips but there was nothing I could fix myself. Was still an economical fix so I went for a repair job. By that time the replacement board only had one chip on it.

Why can I remember the autorun PROM starting address (C80000) for that machine, and can't remember my youngest grandson's name half the time?

Priced at $666.66, the first Apple-1s were despatched from the garage of Steve Jobs' parents' house.

His parents lived in China?

I've always said Apple is way over priced! Just kidding, before Swordmaker brands me an Apple hater with FUD.

I was about ready to toss an Atari 2400 2600 from about 25 years ago, but my son told me it might be worth some money. Who would have thought. :)

Fixed.
