80s nerd computers was: Re: Regret

[amalventano at sc.rr.com (Allyn)]

will you guys get your heads out of the 80s already???
yeah yeah, i had a c64, and dont get me wrong, i get all nostalgic and every 
now and then i have to get my 'raid on bungeling bay' or 'castle 
wolfenstein' or 'hacker II' fix ... but i dont do it with an old c64 
carcass - i do it by running a c64 emulator on this:

nothing like emulating a 1 MHZ computer on a 1 THZ monster

p.s. those pics are my only pc in the house (who needs more with that space 
heater by your desk???)
