Commodore 64

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?

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.
