Hi, I still have a 2600 around. It was also used to align color TVs if you had the right cartridge (I do). My favorite was a Timex 1000 computer. I did lots of thing with it back then.

I used to work on Z80-based CPM systems and single board 6502-based computers like the Kim-I and Sym-I. Those are good memories. I also worked on Data General gear. I still think of the old Nova and Eclipse computers, the washing machine sized disk drives and the tape drives with the vacuum columns. I'm kind of sentimental that way. In the original TRON movie, you can see an Eclipse system with the DG tape drive as they enter the computer room. Those were the days!
