Did you ever give anything away thinking it's worthless, or that you'll never use or want it again, and then over a decade later think WHY TF DID I DO THAT I'M A COMPLETE IDIOT?!?!?!?!

Yeah that's me.

Missing my old Macintosh 512K from 1984 with second external disk drive, in perfect working condition. That I now want to tinker with bad, especially now that there are great storage/communications options that can be built for them.

Retro-computing is EXPENSIVE now.

The one thing I wanted back from the past is my Intellivision. It may or or be in a derelict shed. Gone either way.

I'll pour one out for it tonight.

I wish I still had my childhood Commodore 64. Been on the lookout for one for a while now, but even the fixer-uppers are worth heaps. The days of $20 garage-sale specials are long gone!

I put a commodore 64 on my hard rubbish pile 20 years ago. Not proud of that now.

Hindsight is 20/20!
