I still have my IMSAI 8080 computer which I bought in 1975 in a box in the garage. It should be a real kick to fire it up at some point in the future.

Each of the four 8kbyte memory boards cost $300. Gee, if I had invested that money in MS stock, I would be retired already. Oh,well...

I miss my C-64. There were games on that computer that have never been matched for the PC--SPACE TAXI! That was so cool. Seven Cities of Gold! Maddening that the power supplies, encased in epoxy resin, were so prone to overheating, and were not repairable. There probably aren't that many working C-64s around anymore. How far we've come since using a cassette tape to store data!

My dad built us an H-89 when I was a young'un and I spent many an hour glued to Wumpus Hunt and Zork....
