    I just took these pics now...


    this is from 1983

    hey, we must have grown up around the same time?

    I still find old retro computer stuff randomly around my house...

    This was an Infocom ad booklet that came with a computer magazine.

    I was born in 1975. I still have my Commodore 64 which I got Christmas 1986 I think (though it would be another year before I got a disk drive...). I've got lots of old computer stuff, including magazines and software, mostly Commodore 64 related.

    same here, lol. except I was born just a few years earlier.

    I have been thinking about setting my C64 back up; I wonder if it still works?

    I had spray painted mine black to look cool back then, so I don't think it has any type of collector's value... but it might be fun to see what I could do with it.

    There were so many Commodore 64s that I don't think they really have too much in the way of collector value (unless maybe you have the portable SX-64 or the aborted follow up, the Commodore 65). They seem to be pretty reliable though so I bet it still works :).
