This cost $1800 in 1983, the equivalent of $4500 today.

I always like the sound those old keyboards made.

How much is it worth now?

How many apps did it have?

If they gave it modern day parts on the inside and a 4k screen I would use it.

Good ole trash 80
Posted on 3/20/17 at 10:20 pm to weagle99
I wouldn't pay $50 for that.

How about a nice game of chess?

pretty damn good idea, actually! I have a pile of old junk shite like that at work...I'd bet I can retrofit with flatscreens in the tube casing and a modern CPU and I could sell the shite out of them to oldsters like myself.

Great post.
My parents gave me a Commodore 64 (64k of memory) back around 1985/6 and that cost a whopping $1,500.
All to play a few games and for typing up reports in the word processor.
I wasn't much of a gamer then and never became one. My mom used it more than me to type up recipes.

I always liked the sounds the floppy disk drive made.

My first computer was a powermac in 95 that cost 2300. 28.8 modem. Hard to believe how slow those things were. Also had like 100mb storage.

Exactly. "*" made everything play on the disc , even if you didn't know the file name.

I woke up one Xmas morning and had damn near every arcade video game in my own room in less than a week. That Comadore 64 was the greatest thing for an 11/12 year old kid!!

the big thing for us is my parents bought a letter-quality printer, which was a huge step above the dot-matrix type.

I still remember the day we discovered the voice synthesizer. Probably made 50 prank phone calls within a few hours.

I still have a funtional 286 with a whopping 40 meg memory. Can still run a few games and has 3.1 windows installed.
