Yeah me. My boy was doing a report on computers and I pulled out my C-64 and hooked it up. Drive wasn't working right so I checked for one on EBay and bid on one.

got it for $5

I'm a driver, I'm a winner. Things are gonna change, I can feel it.

Not sure why that popped into my head. 10 points for MC for getting out the C64 though.

I have a bunch of C64 games sitting on a shelf in my basement. Picked them up at a yardsale, mostly complete RPGs. Not sure why I bought them.

to put in your antique computer museum that's going to make you rich.

ChadTower · « **Reply #4 on:** September 19, 2005, 04:30:56 pm »

I don't want an antique computer museum.

Well, that's what's wrong with you.

Lack of space, lack of funds, lack of wanting antique computers.

That said, why the hell do I have like 8 TI99s.

Probably for the same reason that I have six Apple ][s.

oh yeah I forgot Chad's going for an antique console museum.

ChadTower · « **Reply #9 on:** September 19, 2005, 04:36:52 pm »

That much at least used to be true. Now it appears that I collect broken arcade games.

missioncontrol · « **Reply #10 on:** September 19, 2005, 04:39:56 pm »

well your museum is certainly evolving

ChadTower · « **Reply #11 on:** September 19, 2005, 04:41:08 pm »

I should go back to consoles. They usually work, and when they break, the PCB is like two caps, a VR, and a twinkie. Very simple to fix.

Stingray · « **Reply #12 on:** September 19, 2005, 04:43:48 pm »

Mmm Twinkies.

missioncontrol · « **Reply #13 on:** September 19, 2005, 04:45:27 pm »

wow a twinkie museum.......

pure geneous

ChadTower · « **Reply #14 on:** September 19, 2005, 04:46:02 pm »

Heterogeneous, even.

Stingray · « **Reply #15 on:** September 19, 2005, 04:48:30 pm »

Twinkies will probably last longer than most of my consoles anyway. I mean they're only made of plastic, which is much more biodegradable.

....boy, I've been away a couple of day from the forums and I've been missing classic threads like this one. If only I can bottle up these little bits of love and keep 'em on my desk for rainydays.

sigh.

Uh.....does anyone know how many members it takes to change a light bulb?...have you seen this?....have you heard this?......

They wouldn't survive the trip, nor be worth the shipping to Australia.
