Hee-hee! I used c64s in high school typing class...I've got a C128 in
mothballs somewhere, and my prize computer collectable: A Tandy 1000, the
original laptop computer, complete with Lucid spreadsheet cartridge and
thermal printer! (My family had all of the TRS-80 models 1-4, and a Co-Co too)
I've also got a video game console collection going, with an Atari 2600,
Magnavox Oddessy, Atari Jaguar, N64, PS1, Sega DreamCast, Turbografix16,
Sega Nomad, Sega Genisis w/32x, Sega Game Gear, and the 1st prize of all
consoles...the Vectrex!

Yup, I'm way into MacMAME (Multi-Arcade Machine Emulator)...and it is
patently illegal to download ROM files if you don't actually own the
original ROM...so don't let me catch ANY of you *snicker* downlading
*guffaw* those ROMs, ya' hear *giggle*?
