- gaius 15y agoI have one right here :-) Bought it in '98 to learn ObjC on, just after Apple had acquired them. Ah the joys of IOKit, DBKit, Interface Builder... And the damn thing always beat me at chess! Tho' my interests have slipped further back in time now, BBCs and C64s are my current obsession. With my trusty soldering iron last night I repaired the missing pins on an old shadow RAM board bought on eBay, now I have 52k RAM in one of my Beebs!
- simmons 15y agoNice! I recently added ethernet to my C64, and finally bought the 1581 (3.5" disk drive) that I always wanted as a kid. After 25 years, I can finally have all my GEOS apps and data on one disk without having to swap them. :)
- rmason 15y agoBecause of the connection to both Steve Jobs and its relative scarcity the NeXT workstation is probably one of the biggest collectibles on that list. I well remember going to a conference at Michigan State specifically just to see a demo of the just released NeXT machine. It didn't disappoint and I came away thinking I had just seen a glimpse of the future.
- benzofuran 15y agoThis is pretty cool. The explosion from the 70s and 80s is really interesting from a design perspective. Rooting around the electrical flea market in san jose a few years back I saw some of these in person...quite the sight in this day and age.
- seclorum 15y agoI am a huge fan of old computers, and have a small collection of interesting items - Oric-1/Oric-Atmos (my first 'real computer with a keyboard'), a BeBox, SGI O2, Atari Portfolio, C64 and so on .. I just wanted to say that there is still life in a lot of these old machines. My Oric collection has gotten more new releases in the last year than I remember having gotten in 1983, when as a teenager living in Australia, I was absolutely starving for new apps for the thing. The Oric scene is vibrant, and alive - if anyone wants to see some new apps being made for this aging platform, check out http://oric.org/ http://oric.org/ and http://forum.defence-force.org/ http://forum.defence-force.org/ some time. Thanks to a newfound interest in the powers of these microcomputers, and an avid hacking scene: The Oric Lives!!
