Still have my Apple // with two drives and IEEE card and my Apple LQP daisy wheel with original boxes and literature... plus Visicalc.
Have to say my Apple never crashed... next to it is my Windows 98 that I still use once and awhile.
In the shop is an old teletype with tape reader/puncher I use to program my Bridgeport tape mill...
My parents were never early adopters... except when Dad came home with a color TV... all the neighbors came over to view and were in awe... most programs were still black and white... Mighty Mouse as all color and the neighbors came back on Saturday morning to watch again.
Within a few months, I think everyone had a color set.
Dad would be 86 now... owned three TV's in his life... one black and white, that color Zenith and us kids bought him a new Zenith in 1978... it is still the one Mom uses daily... the quality goes in before the name goes on!
