I collect "classic technology" mostly 80's stuff of
course.. I'm fond of emulation but there's just no substitute for the real thing.
Save a classic computer system from the landfill and give it a place in your
home!

Here are two shots of the 4/a and the Geneve. I pretty much have everything you can get for the 4/a other than the latest stuff being developed. Latest stuff? Yes the TI is alive and well in the world. Most of the heavy players from when I was really into this computer are even still around! I own a ton of consoles, and a Myarc Geneve 9640 set up with HDFC and 40meg hard disk drive.
