We had a Commodore 64 back in the day. People today probably think "Oh, 64 gigabytes, or maybe 64 megabytes?" Nooooo...64 kilobytes :) It was stolen in a house break-in in the late 80's, and at the time, I thought, "Well, I got a $100 for it from the insurance company (or something less, I can't remember exactly), so that's more than it was worth". I wish I had that now so I could show my kids, and eventually grandkids, what the early publicly available computers were like. I remember in grad school in the early 80's using computers that used cassette tapes for memory :)

There is always eBay!
Commodore 64
So I could have waited 35 years and gotten double what I got in insurance :) (looks like a lot of people kept those around)
