Anyone into the old computers, back when you had more choices then just mac or windows for a choice for the average consumer?

here is a sample of my collection, http://museum.geekgrrl.ca

two pieces I'm looking for are the molarmac and the C128D (looks like an amiga 1000)

Nice collection, unfortunatly everything I have is pretty generic though I have some rare old GPUs.

I remember fondly my first years of gaming on a Commodore 64.

At work we have one of the very early model AS/400 minicomputers, as well as a refridgerator-sized reel-to-reel tape drive for it, sitting in storage.

My dad used to have an old, old IBM which had a PGA card. What a beast.

Oh aye, i still fire up the old Commodore 64 and Amiga on occasion. One of the good sides to being obsessive compulsive is that any of my posessions must be kept in pristine working condition, so i kelp my old computers working well.

Heck yes, the first computer I had access to, a Swedish ABC 806 (technical specifications) with a Z80A CPU built in 1983 still works as a charm and is pretty funny doing BASIC programming on.
Then I also have an old 286 and a Pentium I 75 MHz.
