I don't currently own any old computers (except my Mac), but I just got rid of a Commodore Amgia 600, and have owned an Amiga 500, and a 2000. I also had a Commodore 64, but that was many moons ago. I also once owned a real old Apple II computer.

I have to agree.

In my opinion, "Old" or "Vintage" technology would have to be at least 10 years old. So in the case of this thread, anything made before 1999.

It boots up, but isn't really able to do anything practical because I need to replace the motherboard battery.

if only I saved my old 286 machine when we were evicted in 2006... it had a massive 12MHz processor, a whopping 40MB hard drive, 5.25" floppy drive, 3.5" floppy drive, and a whopping 640kb of RAM! God, I was on this machine until 2005, god I went nuts when my brother gave me his newer old machine...
