Hi,
I found myself here through a mailing list I'm on and thought why not just register a username....
My name is Matthew and I'm 22, well I will be in about 9 days.... I've been interested in older computers and video games for several years now. In all honesty I'm primarily into this for gaming... all things else, like using my Apple IIgs for IRC over broadband are entierly secondary...I also have a lot more game consoles and handhelds than computers (something like 23 to 6..but I havn't been counting lately)
What I do have as far as older computers go:
Apple IIgs (my favorite system.... lots of cool stuff installed)
Commodore64(first classic system I picked up)
CommodoreSX-64(I took it to the school's computer club meetings before they turned the meetings into study sessions for the schools MSCE class. I think the teacher who oversaw that thought I was nuts, though most of the students oogled over the SID files and games I brought with it)
Mac SE(My main computer is a Mac, the Mac SE was the first Mac I ever had access to before getting my own Mac so I thought I should get one.)
Amiga 2000(I only got it a couple weeks ago... I'm slowly getting some hardware to get it going nice, it looks like it should be a cool computer.)
Wyse 286 (my dad's first computer... he didn't really let me do much with it becuase he thought I'd mess it up..like if I hit the delete key it'd implode and suck in the whole solar system.... I used to go over to my friends house a lot because his dad let him do whatever he wanted with his Apple IIgs. Now I generally use the 286 to play old DOS games he never let me play on it when it was new... )
That's about it for now I guess.
