I remember we had a Radio Shack TRS 80 with a tapedeck to load games and stuff.

Also recalled it being called a "Trash 80".

We still have our Apple Quicktake. Man what a joke it was. One of the first digital cameras, but really didn't serve any good purpose. All the affordable printers in that day printed crappy pictures!

I have an old Coleco Vision ADAM that my folks bought to "get us into the new era" and then I remember my dad swearing at "god damn mister spock, whatsa syntax error" sorta stuff when he tried to learn adam basic

but it came with the amazing extended buck rogers and the planet of zooooom game!

and a pretty slow printer that worked with a daisy wheel.

i am not sure what it was good for really.....

I got an oooooooold 8088 in my lab that was, up until a few days ago, still being used by the Navy. It has an actual functioning 8" (yes, that's right, 8" floppies) external floppy drive. It still works, and has never given them a minute of hardware problems. It's just too slow to cut the mustard anymore..

As for me, I have an old Commodore 64 that my sister gave me for my bday many, many moons ago.

The oldest things in my collection are a couple 8" disk drives and a 300 baud acoustic coupler.

I have friends who own an Osborne, a VAXstation, an AT&T Spectre, and a PDP-8 (which actually usually has a tape mounted on it).

I have an old Commodore 64 and a Radio Shack TSR-80

No kidding, thats funny lol

The oldest thing I own is my AMD K6-2 400 server. I used to have a C64, but it died. Probably the most obsolete piece of hardware I still own and use is a 5.25" floppy drive. Just for kicks, really.

Anything older than yesterday

I have a copy of "War Games" the movie, which features an old computer.

TI994a

No Mac is obsolete!

:-)

(My brothers back home still use a Power Mac 6100/60 running Mac OS 9...a computer that's 9 years old and to me, a 19 year old, that's a long time)

One more comment for the board: the Quicktake series was revolutionary! Digital cameras for the masses? The quality was, admittedly, less-than-satisfactory, but it was one of the first. Please, applaud them for that, at least :-)

My dad has a functioning Grid Compass sitting on his bookshelf in his office... He's one of the engineers that designed the 'first laptop' I haven't gotten to play with it... maybe i'll ask him tomarrow... :-)

I got a Compaq from the good year of 92 i dk wat model i kno its slow as shit and prob has a limited hard drive

Compared to what everyone is using today to visit this forum: <b>mine</b>. I have a 1.2 GB hardrive (unknown amount of free space, the computer has literally lost its mind, thinking it has over 900mb free; which I know is <b>not</b> true!) powered by a Pentium 1 processor utilizing a whopping 40 mb's of ram. :) I still love the old bird. I just don't know how long she can hang on. It'll be 2020 and I'll still be laughing my ass off. :lol:

IBM 8086 with 640k of Ram. One 5 1/4" single density floppy drive. It works. It's running MS-DOS 3.
And I even have a monochrome monitor.

In storage I have an IBM Input/Output Typewriter.
Still have some of the film/disks.
Everything in working order but not for long.
The combined weight of the typewriter unit and the "recording" unit weight around 60-75 pounds.
Im planning on scrapping the typewriter and gutting the tower part for a unique server case.
