My oldest piles are a Tandy TRS-80 (still in the box) and a USIT Athena running Geomancer Pro. The USIT used to belong to Jeffrey T. Spicer incidentally and still has first draft screenplays for Terminator and The Princess Bride and a pair of movies he has since produced as well as his resume and cover letter addressed to George Lucas when he first applied to Industrial Light and Magic. And yes, that is my prize posession because I am so nerdy it stings AND burns.

Who is Jeffrey T. Spicer?

I can't believe they still have specs for that listed! lol Here's teh one for the Athena: http://www.atarimagazines.com/comput...thena_386S.php I love how they recommend the 2MB RAM upgrade before upgrading to Windows 3.0.

Amstrad 64k specs.

So does this make us passionate techono-gods or just packrats?
