Only whats in the house... lots more OLD OLD stuff packed away in the garage...

The original, and the latest "C" version for that extra edge you crave in 80's PCs

I have the original with optional floppy drive, fastload cartridge, joystick, and game pads setup but didnt take a pic...

Before PC Gamer.. there was...

Take that Apple IIc!

There is no such thing as 2 1/2" floppy, those are diskettes //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif 'Floppy' implies that the disk itself is, well, floppy... Floppies were standard media in the 80s, diskettes didnt become popular till the 90s.

I have some old laptop, don't even know the specs has like 8" screen lol, huge box, it was used at a printing press in the town I live in, it came with a modem. A box that you put your phone on //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif. Just like in wargames.

Yeah I'm kinda joking with ya, the common terminology for the 2.5" diskettes is indeed "floppy", but the 'true', original floppies are the ones you're thinking of, they are 5.25" and actually floppy not rigid.

i actually prefer 98, or 2000 server...

I run 2000 myself, but running 98 is like getting yrou gibson hacked.
