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!

      Logitech's Driving Force Wireless for the PS3 may not be for hard-core racers, but what you give up in performance you get back in ease of use and set up.

      Logitech Cordless Keyboard (Wii)

      The Logitech Cordless Keyboard for Wii is a capable and comfortable keyboard for anyone who's doing a lot of text entry on the Nintendo game console, but it's not a must-have accessory.

    • Logitech PlayGear Pocket Lite (DS)

      Logitech PlayGear Pocket Lite (DS)

      The Logitech PlayGear Pocket Lite is a perfectly good case for the DS Lite, but many will find it to be unnecessary overkill for the already durable Nintendo handheld.

    • Renegade Game Chair

      Renegade Game Chair

      It performs well as a gaming enhancement but costs as much as a next-gen console. The Renegade is for committed gamers only.

      Iomega Media Xporter 160GB

      Iomega dresses the Media Xporter in a fancy casing and tries to pass it off as the ideal companion for your games console, but really, it's just an average external hard drive.
