Love the old equipment

I love seeing old equipment, its our part of computing history. Allot that the younger generation does not know about which they should learn about. If todays kids got to know some of the early PC's from the 70's and 80's they would not be so happy where you actually have to put a cassette tape in, of a big 5 1/4 inch floppy. Also programs were not handed to them by a simple download, but by typing in the code yourself.
