Visiting my wife's grandparents and her Grandpa told me he had an old Apple computer that I could have if I wanted it. Well it's not an Apple Computer but an original C64 in the original box. Quite a shock to see that one pulled out.

I had a Vic 20 back in the day.

Birthday gift from my friend. She made it.

Sort of an odd one: A Healthkit Model 10-12 Laboratory Oscilloscope, given as a graduation gift, which was in production from the early to late '60s. I quickly tried to bodge something so I could listen to some lissajous music with it:

That takes me back to my bass guitar amp testing days when I left school. Seems like a lifetime ago now.

Some bozo in a GMC 3500 4x4 ran over my Mazda MX-5 ... insurance gave me this to drive while the repair is being done.

Thanks. Only issue is that it came from the US, I'm in Europe, so I have to order some plug adapters before I can use it. Hopefully I should be able to get it all set up later today. My first time wining a prize in such a competition.

Safe to say I'm buying a lottery ticket this month!

I got a brand new WD Red 3 TB, manufactured in May 2018 as a replacement for my defective ≈ 2 years old WD Red 3 TB HDD! I expected a recertified HDD, not a brand new HDD! Shipping via overnight express!

Many thanks WD!

I won a little gift basket from my work Christmas party.

Customer dropped this iMac late 2012 27inch off to be repaired. Found HDD had bad sectors, chose not to spend the money to fix. Said I could keep it.

That's a solid computer.

Yep, gave it to Dad for christmas

My company let me keep this 2015 MacBook Pro (2.5GHz i7 and 16GB ram) since they don't want to spend money to fix it. There are some lines along the screen on the left side which I don't mind and will eventually get it fixed. It'll cost me eventually $500- $600 but we bought it for around $2400 I think when it came out. It's free for now haha.
