[plug] Dead hdd

[Simon Scott]

I see your VIC 20 and raise you a shed and spare room full of
Commodore 64s, 1541 disk drives, 5 SX-64s, boxes and boxes of boxed
games, cartons of DD 5.25s still in shrinkwrap, some PET and VIC20
stuff, and enough pirated software to sink a battle cruiser :D I also
raise you a c64 actually set up and running in the computer room
which gets regular use, next to 3 linux servers, a linux desktop and
a mac osX box :)

I had a 300 baud modem, and a 1200/75 at one stage (great for
uploading to BBSes!!!!), still got the 300 somewhere too.

Actually, no. I raise you 3 x 1meg disks, which are about 2 ft across
and 2 inches thick plastic behemoths. One day Ill find a drive and
see whats on them :D
