[Discuss] Free Commodore 64

[Stacey F]

Hi,... 
My ancient Hyperion and a possible old computer show... I really didn't think that my email would create this much interest! 

Let's get the show on the road! 

BTW, my old Hyperion had a video out as well as a built in 300 baud modem, and phone dialler. I could put the video out to my 32 inch (tv) flat screen monitor. 

I haven't tried it yet, but it should work. Wouldn’t that freak the hell out of... won't go there, I'm plugging in my old Hyperion again. and about to try the phone dialler tomorrow. 

Could we do it at a mall? 

Cheers, Stacey F.

I have a Commodore 64, Vic20 with extra memory (maybe more than one of each). I 
am not sure, but I might also have an old Atari. If someone organizes such a 
show, I could probably loan what I have
