Haha yeah

 

They need to make this site to accommodate an android just because you guys are using the first computer you ever bought lol

 

Wish I had my 1st computer again (a real dinosaur, the IBM 5150). A functional one recently sold for $3,800 to a techie at UNC. That could buy a trunk-load of coin flips.

 

Make sure they are mylar.

 

I bet you still have every penny of the money too

 

Uh ... disposable income?

 

I'm gonna go with "what is good handwashing technique? Pat."

 

I've still got my TRS-80 Model I out in the garage, packed in original boxes. I doubt it would boot up at this point, but I do mean to get it out someday and restore it. They bottomed out around $25 or so on eBay a long time ago, but they started to go back up after that.

I'll never get back the thousands I spent on the system, software and peripherals. But that set me on my career, so really, it's paid for itself many times over.

 

My first Computer was a Vendex-88xt it actually had 2 - 5 inch floppies and no hard drive

 

In my house, especially when I am searching rolls or bags of coins, black cats think they go very well with coin collecting:

 

Well, really, who's ever going to need more than 720 thousand bytes of storage at one time? It's not like you're going to be writing a novel on the thing...

When I got my first disk drive for that TRS-80, it was single-sided, single-density. 80-odd KB on each diskette, but about 30K of that was taken up by system files, so -- 50K of user data per disk. You could double that if you bought a "flippy" drive that let you insert the disk in either orientation, or if you punched the right notch in a standard diskette, but you had to manually flip the diskette over.

Good times.

 

The little female runt likes money! She is the meowmismatist of the bunch.

 

So that's why searching coins sometimes makes me sneeze! They might have cat on them!

 

A glass of whiskey, a decent loupe, and Beethoven.

 

Hold-ups?

“No, keep the bills, I want the coins!”
