Ahhhh, the memories!

I still have my c64 at home. And a Commodore +4!

The +4 was some machine, it took 30 minutes on a tape to load ACE. (what a great game btw!)

I also have a CPC464 lying around, and a Sinclair QL! Motorola 68008 processor and two inbuilt microdrives! Unfortunately the QL has seen much better days.

Also hiding a Tandy 8088XT PC with a 10Mb hard disk....some machine in its day. Finally, the Amstrad PPC640DD. 640kb RAM, twin 3.5" floppy drives and a 2400 modem! I remember the reviews called it a modem with free pc attached. It was sold as a laptop but you needed one big lap to sit it in! lol

It had a foldout LCD screen (not much use, no backlight) and was powered by a NEC V30 chip (an 8086 derivative).

Oh, the days....*sniff*
