    A real TRS salesman still around!

    I was in the RadioShack looking for some cords for my newly build workstation (a whole 'nother story), when a man, somewhere in his 60's came up to me and asked me if I needed help. Keep in mind I'm a 17 year old. I told him that I was building some desks were I can set up my vintage computer...

    Vintage Computer Convention???

    Well, I remember hearing a lot of buzz about it back in winter, but what's doing? I don't see much about it now. I can't remember/find the link that gives you info on it. I live on the east coast, and remember hearing there was going to be a "Vintage Computer Convention East". If any of you...

    Atari XE

    I got this for my birthday in October from a friend who knew I was into vintage computing. Now, don't mind me asking, but before I do something stupid, can I play 2600 carts on this thing? I mean, as of now my 2600 is hooked up to an old b/w tv on a little cart huddled in a corner. Not very...

    I said it in the Tandy forum, I'll say it here: I've been rumaging around through the unexplored territory of vintage computing. What did I find? The "Panasonic Senior (Sr.) Partner"! Erik has this on the main site, but I never looked at it until I found one on eBay that had everything you...

    Hello (..hello..hello..hello..)

    Hm, doesn't seem like theres to many Trash-80 users out there, judging by the number of Tandy posts! Well, if anyone is remotely interested, I just bought a Model III with a bunch of software and a printer to boot. I'm thinking about skimming the surface of Tandy a little bit, seeing as how its...

    I wish...

    Most of us here have a collection of vintage computers. And of course, most of us want more, or computers impossible to find or afford. (Apple I, perhaps?) So, just as a funny thought, what do you all wish you had in your collection? Actually, I got this idea from a piece of notebook paper I...

    My Thoughts on Amiga

    Heres what I think is true, First of all, Commodore went bankrupt in the early 90's due to many many mistakes made, and bad marketing skills. I've heard the CDTV is what did them in, due to the fact they may have been expensive to make, and it flopped. Some say with there "half the price"...

    SX-64 anyone?

    Actually, I found one the other day on eBay, but hey, they are always there right? The person lives just a county away! Shipping would be like 10 bucks, and I'm thinking about grabing it. 23 pounds, and something like a 6 inch screen. Ha ha, the first color portable computer.
