They used eBay to buy a computer in the 1980s?
Interesting. They should be focusing on selling their time travel capabilities then they would not have to worry about the funds to update their AC.  |

Saw this a couple months ago. A Commodore is just fine for running this system and as the person who maintains the system commented, if anything fails I jsut head to ebay for a couple bucks and replace it. These people are heros, google how much money (7 figures) the school district has saved in keeping this system the whole time.

What idiots!! This is so cool! They should not only keep this in place, but turn this into an exhibit for the school. Here's a great little piece of "ancient" technology as that other reporter called it (asshole) that is used to save energy and is still running and doing its thing, 30 years later. Love it.
I have 2 TRS-80 Model 1's and a TRS-80 Model 4. The Model 1's still work, but the keyboard bounces and the tape drive is all gummed up. The Model 4 was working but finally died when first its floppy drives stopped working (because I broke a terminating resistor), and then a trace on the power supply cracked and now there's no power to the motherboard. Sigh!! Will fix them one day I guess.

This is an Amiga 2000 that's powerful enough. I was still very happy of my Amiga 4000 until 1995 or so. We're not talking of C64's or so.
