    Commodore 64

    It was a good investment. When I finally upgraded to a 286, the store had a $500 trade in offer for any system... I got $500 for the C64 (paid $250 for it) and sold the floppy drive and the modem off seperately for another $50.

    Build a computer in...

    I've always wanted to build a computer into a lazyboy reclining chair complete with a beer cooler and split ergonomic keyboard built into the armrests. video would be hdmi out to a wall mounted flatscreen or projection screen and instead of a mouse you'd use a two-button laser pointer. but then...
