Commodore 64

[prog]

I have a Commodore 64 with a floppy drive. No cables or anything. I have never used it. I have been dragging it around for years, I guess for hurr-hurr ironical purposes, but it's clear that I'm never going to do anything interesting with it; not even make a conversation piece from it.

Anyone want it?

YES

Srsly? I was implying that I'd just hand it over to someone locally, but I'd ship it to you out of raw curiosity over what you'd do with it.

Note that I've never switched it on, so I don't even know if it works. It was handed to me 12 years ago by a teacher in the school I was working at and I was all "Oh boy an old computer yippee!" and then it spent the next 7 years wedged under the driver's seat of my car.

These days, if you want to satisfy your old-computer nostalgic yearnings it's usually easier to play with an emulator than to try to actually coax 25- or 30-year-old hardware to run.

That is true. But an emulator can't give you the joy of having a running Apple IIe in your company's glass-walled server room.
