Default Classic Puter Collecting

I've always been one for collecting old classical puters.
A friend of mine gave me a Sun Microsystems Sunfire V250 Server that he had bought at a
garage sale in the past. Its got the old dual cpu board with 3x 36gb hotswap drives in it.
It powers up ok, but it has the SSC reader/controller in it. An old card is in it, but it's got a
password, hahaha.

Also got an HP Netserver LD Pro. Works pretty good, but only supports 512 mg ram.
It was used by a manufacturing plant as a network server back in the 90's. It has a 9,
4 and 2 gig hotswap drives in it. Its a cute little novelty, lol

You want to talk classic computer, I still have a Commodore 64 in my closet with and Enhancer 2000, 5.25 floppy drive. I still have the floppies for it as well. Kind of dates me, doesn't it? I threw out the old VIC 20 the last time we moved. Just can't bring myself to part with the C64 though.

Started with a TI-99 4/A myself (added a speech module a month or so after, I was in awe) -> C64 (running CNET BBS) -> C128D (for two months?) -> 386SX16 (ran Spitfire -> TBBS) -> 486DX/2 (with turbo button!) Commanche was by far the most impressive graphical game, ahead of its time. Good stuff. Remember when anything faster than 9600 baud was "going to burn up the phone lines"? <grin>
