LOL I have a PET and a TRS-80 II. I have a Vic 20, but the power brick died and I've not bothered to fix it or replace it.
Of all of them, only the Trash 80 gets touched. Every once in a while, I meander down into the basement to play some Zork.

That there is one of the reasons i keep them in working order, play the games the way we played them back in the day. When we move into the home we plan to die in i will make a large nerdery to display them all.
Ive got an IBM 5150 that i blew the power block on, last one that needs to be repaired. The Trash 80 is what i first learned to program on, those farkin tape drives..
at OP sorry for the derail, i get carried away when i start down the old pc road.
Pfft... Fuck OP. I do what I want!
My very first use of a programmable computer would have been in the very early 70s.
Prepare to be amazed!
In the early 70s i was still poopin in my drawers but id love to have something like that in my collection, you know, for posterity purposes. At least that is what i will tell the wife should i happen upon one of these.
