    I own a C64 beadbin. A 1541 disk drive and a 1541-II disk
    drive. I have added not so classic items to it. A uIEC.SD drive and a WiModem. Bring Classic into today.

    I have a C64 breadbin, a Tandy TRS-80 Model 100, model 200. No disc drives
    but have a WiModem inbound. Got a Toshiba Satellite 110CS Pentium laptop
    with floppy drive and PCMCIA card for network connectivity.

    Since i recovered the Atari 520 ST (4 MB RAM, now online via PiModem) from my dads office a few weeks ago i notice that i spend more and more time using
    the old machine for tasks i would normally do on a modern computer. I think
    the singletasking in combination with the great sharp and contrast rich b/w graphics make it to the perfect typewriter / office-workhorse. The perfect
    tool for people like me who are experts in procrastination ;-)

    I didn't know it had so much ram. So I just looked it up and yeah, you expanded it to max ram. Cool. YOu said balck and white but the wikipedia article says the monochrome monitor was a moneysaver, and that it came with a color monitor. Any thought of getting an old color monitor for it?

    I like my trs-80 laptop. And, the tandy community has collected all magazine articles and BBS files from the era and store it on teh website. One of my favorite classics is lunar lander. I have three of them now that I transcribed in basic.
