You should see what the schools dump...most were obtained from Federal grants and the students need to be trained on the latest equipment....it's almost a bi-yearly dump. Some are given to a few charities, but who really wants an ancient system ( 1yr. old is almost ancient). And the older, slower machines won't work for some pages they try to download.. It's cheaper for the school system to replace them instead of upgrade....7lords wrote:I just tossed a whole dumpster full of diskettes, 5 1/4 floppies, cassettes (the kind that were just like the music ones) and the hardware and software associated with some really old systemsSam wrote:I remember the diskettes, 5 1/4 floppies, and cassettes, the bag phones and more. I had a TI-99-4a.( still have it and I used a tv set as a monitor, games loaded on a cassette player and or a cartidge that plugged into it.)
I had friends that had Commodores ( and not the music group)! I remember the old TRS -80 too!
