You know, one of my computers that i still use is a Sam Coupe, 512k, 6.1mhz clock speed, 16 color out of a palette 128 (oh and yes a Harddisk, CD-rom, Soundcards, but you write your own software for it).

I work with it, a friend of mine writes programs (he also wrote the OS that operates the HD and CD-rom) for it and i do the graphics (see example, i wish i could show more, but i have to transfer those from the Sam to the PC, but XP is not nice to my disk-image reader, i am working on that).

So why should i use a computer of wich production stopped about 13 years ago and probably less than a 1000 are still in use worldwide on a regular base.

Because it is fun......

Draculaz, somehow you don't get the point, people do things just for fun of it, and for that they don't need the newest, or the best or the most expensive goods, software or whatever, all they want is to have fun, and that is priceless.
