I'm actually a bit of a collector (or want to be when I have the space) of the vintage 80s micros. My only decent one at the moment is the Epson HX-20 (first laptop), it has a built-in dot matrix and micro cassette, I use it for printing out wallet seeds and passwords private keys etc. Very cool. Also, my son enjoys learning to type on it, because of the printer.



heh i have a bit of a collection of early (early to me, i envy you guys with the serious old iron stuff) computers too.

* timex sinclair ts 1000 (zx-81 clone) with 16k ram expansion and sparky printer - my 1st computer
* commodore 64 with tape drive and 2x1541 floppy drives
* trs-80 model 100, looks very similar to your Epson HX-20 but minus the printer (very early portable laptop type computer) with 2400 (or maybe 1200  baud) modem
* trs-80 model one with expansion interface, 48k ram, tape drive, 4x5.25 floppy drives
* lnw-80 (trs-80 clone, uses trs-80 5.25 drives plus two shugart 8 inch drives)
* trs-80 model 4P (two) with 128k ram, bank switched, runs cp/m as well as native trsdos - a portable computer the size and weight of a sewing machine, but it has a handle and is fully self contained. find an outlet and youre up and running, has two 5.25 drives and a green screen plus a built in 2400 baud modem
* apple mac classic and mac plus (plus an external apple hard drive)
* apple lisa (two) - the later lisas, not the 1st model
* one of the 1st ibm clones (cant remember the name), 8088 (8086?), 8 bit expansion slots.. love that HUGE red power lever. took the hard drive like 5 minutes to spin down on power off.

everything boots.

all work but the floppies are getting to be hit or miss now. there are various software/hardware adapters to use another computer to simulate floppies/hard drives.. gotta seriously look into them.

i cut my teeth on those things. all have a fond place in my heart, many many hours of fun and learning.


That's actually a pretty nice collection you have there. God I used to love the c64, I never had one but my cousins did and we absolutely killed that thing. 80s tech is the best, movies too.

You forgot the music. That was the best. Period.

I'm unsure about the music to be honest, the 80s music was very original though. I guess the thing about the 80s was that there was a shitload of new technology coming out that was available to the masses, a lot of creativity was able to thrive with this.

Must suck to be Roger. Always picks the wrong side. Gox wasn't fine, Craig neither. Bcash isn't too. I am waiting for his turn to be destroyed just like happened to Craig.


These guys from the fork wars are blinded by their own egos.

They are rich and have money up to their asses. They could spend it into something worthwhile, like some scientific projects, some enterprises to create jobs, expeditions to the north pole and beyond, and maybe the foundations of a citadel for future hodlers, so much things they could do with their money... and they squander it all into stupid hash wars. I read somewhere that they have spend 10 million dollars with it.

I guess that when you have way more than "enough" money, you need to pursue other ventures to feel accomplished... even if those ventures are completely stupid.

Of course, not everyone is alike.

Anyway, I am currently busy trying to have "just enough" money. After that maybe I will be able to have a clearer view about what I have just presumed.

Good morning WO brothers.


Finally, I have a custom trust list inspired by Loyce's post 🙂

(I encourage anyone to create their own custom Trust list!)

I will keep finding users to keep my list up to date.



By the way, one of the rare day I had today. I had to sell a very small amount of BTC today to pay a bill who takes fiat LOL

Maybe you could explain me what do I need a trust list for?

I mean, before bothering to set up one, I would need some reason to do so. I already know who I do trust and who I don't without needing no stinking list. Also.. don't trust, verify!

... And stop selling BTC you fool! Tongue

This was my first computer, a Kaypro. My dad bought it for his publishing business to do payroll, but it was outdated by 1986. Cost $4k:



You could fold it up like a suitcase, so it was "portable"...



It used the nice big floppies, which were required for startup. You could switch disks once the computer had finished booting. There were a few interesting text role playing games, and one "action" game made entirely out of ascii characters, called "Ladder."

I used it all the way up until about 8th grade. My grandfather helped create one of the earliest versions of BASIC and taught me the elementaries of programming, on an Apple II, I believe it was. By the time Macintosh came around I knew how to use ResEdit to mod games (before it was even a term), to mess with my Dad while he was playing Armor Alley.



Yeah, I had an Osborne, very similar, ran CP/M, not my first though

Thank you very much for your kind words Mic. Btw, even if I don't currently have a trust list you would surely be on the top of it for many reasons Wink


The "very sober" thing is kinda ironic considering this though: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.msg50543105#msg50543105 Tongue
