Do you guys remember when arcades were the COOLEST place for a kid to hang out?

Are there even any arcades nowadays?

HOLY COOL OLD COMPUTERS, BATMAN!
http://www.old-computers.com/news/default.asp

I'm gonna buy me a TRS-80 and an Apple II and a Commodore 64. I'm gonna learn me some 6502 assembly language and become a h4x012 again!

P.S. Don't ask me about the time the local FBI showed up at my house when I was in 8th grade.

Now THESE were games! I think I'm going to build an old PC (486-33 maybe?) and buy some of these moldy-oldies!

Maybe I can find an Atari 2600 somewhere too...

Nah, that wouldn't be Fed stuff.

I think the Feds were called in by Sprint, MCI, and Long Distance USA. (Remember when you had to dial a long distance carrier before dialing a mainland number?)

Wow! A ZX81 head, eh? That chiclet keyboard was SWEET, eh?

I think I could dig up an old Amiga 1000 somewhere. That thing could do some AMAZING things with a 7.14mhz processor!

I had 'em all:

1. TRS-80
2. Atari 400, 800, 520st
5. Amiga 500, 1000, 3000
6. CP/M machine (don't even remember the make/model)
7. Apple ][+, ][e, ][c
8. 486/33, 486/66, p5-100, p5-233, celeron 300@450, celeron 700@1050, p3-866, amd t-bird 750 @ 1000, amd xp 2000

Lots of overclocked/electromagnetic migration failed chips inbetween there too.
