Girl's captor used obsolete PC

...EU calls for "Computer Upgrade for Hostage Takers" program, new tax to pay for it..."New computers not just for those who happen to obey the law" says rep

Lang told reporters the outmoded computer would complicate investigators’ efforts

So, he was stupid, but not entirely.

Oh man, I would love to get my hands on a working C64.

Then I could play the original "Pirates!"

So far, a public hungry for details has been shown only photos taken before her kidnapping at age 10

I don't think the public's apparent desire to see pics of this poor girl should even be considered.
On a lighter note I used to play the He** out of Kickman on a C64.

I loved my Commodore 64 and the toys I got with it.

Should I feel guilty that I admire him for that?

Obsolete? Hell, that's what I'm using as a server in my office.

Lang told reporters the outmoded computer would complicate investigators’ efforts to transfer files for closer examination later, saying it would be difficult "to transmit the data to a modern computer without loss".

There are C-64 emulators available. Just export the original disk contents as flat files and fire up the emulation sw.

Heck in the fall of 1984 (my jr. year of HS)those were considered outdated!! We had PC XT's the following year at school.

Same here - except I started on an Atari 400 (with that friggen membrane keyboard). We didn't have a whole lot of money when I was a kid, so I had to settle for the 400. Later, I bought an 800XL myself after I got a job. Never had the privilege of owning an ST.

Now I have my own computer software business - and my fingerprints are nearly worn off from the Atari 400 keyboard.

Wow. You had one of the NEW Atari's! Anyone want to buy a working 400 & 800?

LOL!!!

Although sometimes I look around and think maybe he had some good warnings about what we eat and the kind of government we let rule...

I was about to say there's at least 1000 people on the internet that could provide expertise in a hot second.
