Mine Still Works !! I had to go back to it after I "upgraded" to Vista.

Though I never owned this machine, I did have the awesome Commodore Amiga 500. Didn't upgrade from it until 1998 ;P

I still have several C-64s, a C-128, a Plus/4, an SX-64, at least one of every drive (except the MSD), RAM expansion cartridges, JiffyDOS-128, hundreds of floppy disks and cartridges, etc. My wife wants me to get rid of it all, but I won't! It represents a large portion of my childhood. While other kids were out getting into trouble, I was in my bedroom teaching myself how to program in 6510 Assembly Language or posting messages and chatting with the SysOp on a BBS at 300 baud!
