I have my Commodore 64 since time began (or so it seems!). Does anyone do anything useful with them or will I just recycle? I haven't looked at it in decades, it's got to go.

Why don't you try Brendan Smith? (@speediecelt in Twitter) he might be interested for the Computer Museum in DERI. See http://brenspeedie.blogspot.ie/2010/05/irelands-only-computer-museum.html?m=1

Well there's posh.  A master 128 while the rest of us struggle with our 16k. 

Reminds me of when u had a MorrisMinor.  I was getting petrol and this guy strolled over and began looking into it. Mick, he shouts back to his mate, it must be a MarkII- it has a heater.

Hi,

My husband collects old computers and uses them for retro gaming shows in local schools. They are great for fundraising. If you no longer need them let me know and we can organise collection.

Thanks
Martina

Ahh! Morris Minors. My Da got one and called it after the bloke who sold it to him. Ever after the car was known as Mr Pister. (I kid you not).
