Watched some of your YT videos (c64, atari800, mac...) and found them to be both entertaining and instructive. Too bad that ive got some problems getting all straight cause your pronounciation is quite new to me

I've enjoyed watching your videos, I like the background you give and the look inside the old beasts.

I also quite like the articles you have about fixing the machines. I wouldn't mind seeing a video or two about that.

You've encouraged me (and I'm sure many others) to repair and collect old machines. I started blogging myself partly because of seeing videos such as yours about machines I had or wish I had.

keep up the good work!

I really found your site interesting and it helped me diagnose and fix my computer collection. Thanks!
My collection has been expanding at a rate of about three micros a year and this site has helped me with fixing up the computers. Do wish that there was an entry on storing computers in the best way.

i have an apple 2e that i use to make patterns to send to my STOLL KNITTING machine, when i load a disc to send to machine , it does not allow me. it used to work last week , but now it wont. does any one know, what it could be. ed

Hi Tezza,

Thank you for all your hard work and the great information you are providing to the community.

I also own a cbm 8032 which has been sitting in the corner for decades.

with your inspiration I think I will revive my old Cbm.

I could not bear to throw my old cbm away because I have so many good memories / fun playing with it when I was in high school.

appreciate all your efforts.

my kindest regards,
John

Looks like a great site. Thanks very much for creating it. My System 80 is currently sitting amongst other stuff in a non working condition.

"THANX!!!!!!"

Hi Tezza
Nice site, I was dumpster diving today and found an SVI 728 with disc drive, tape deck and dot matrix printer (all in boxes) as well as a green screen monitor.
It had been exposed to the weather so all compnents are drying gently in my hot water cupboard until they are dry inside.
I hope it goes.

I did use the Dallas timerchip teardown and now my Veridata 386/40 is working again. Thanks for putting usefull information on your website.

I have been watching the new TV series 'Halt and Catch Fire'. It really took me back to the early 80's and my days starting out on MicroComputers. I decided to do some looking around and found your site. I originally used a TRS80 mod 1, and then went on to buy my own Mod 3. Fantastic to see your site and all the contributors. I get to relive my early basic programming days!

Great site and youtube channel. Have been looking for an Achive of bits and bytes forever! Really enjoying working through the videos and reliving some of the computers i used in the past.

Very nice collection. Amiga RULEZ!

Great site. Also enjoy your youtube channel.

Keep up the great work.

Tezza,Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Came here looking at the Epson HX-20 (i still have mine and it still works perfectly), and ended up watching ur vids about the machines i have owned (my forst was a Sinclair ZX-80.

I wish i had kept all my old puters :(

Great videos

Keep up the good work!
I nearly disposed of my old equipment.

Love the collection and your repair/maintenance advice! Big fan and keep up the good work!Also, check these places out [www.oldcomputers.net] [www.old-computers.com]

Simply wonderful retrospectives, and I am so glad to have discovered the site, with the accurate and full details and videos (on YouTube).

Terry, you definitely have a passion for these incredible machines. After watching a few on YouTube, you've rekindled the interest & wonder I had in highschool during the 80's when I first encountered them. Buying my TRS-80 Color Computer 2 back then got me "infected," and I've not looked back.

Now I work in the software development industry, still have my CoCo2, and have added a C64, Apple IIe, TI-99/4A, and Timex Sinclair/Zx81 (and a *ton* of "virtual" machines using emulators).

Thank you so much for the work you've done. Entertaining and nostalgic.

Love the site-- really individual, pleasant and great detail to see!
