Still have a few C64s and 1541's in a box in the garage. Hard to let go
after all those years.

Didn't everyone call it a Trash 80?
My highschool had a star network of Trash 80's back in 88 or so. To this
day, I still laugh about the "security" of that system. It wouldn't have
been so sad if the programming assignments were even a bit challenging
at the time.
Anymore, cellphones are fast enough to emulate those old 8bit machines.
If you have a Nokia 3650, check out the Frodo C64 port - it actually
runs my old C64 Demos. Simply amazing how far we've come.
Next thing you know, we'll be runing MVS under Hercules on our cellphones ;)
