I’d love to have a reason to pick up an 80’s microcomputer. I had a TI-99/4A but could never afford the peripheral expansion box. I could now though, but what would I do with it?<p>I had the TI but what I really wanted was an Atari 800 or Apple II. I really wish I could think of something to do with one of these. I’ve thought about getting one and writing some journaling software for it to give me a reason to sit down at the console every day or two, but then I remember how awful those old keyboards were and generally how unpleasant these machines were.<p>Probably best to leave my nostalgia intact and stick to modern computers.
