It cost me some $4,405 in 1983. It still works, just as it did when I bought it.<br><br>JFTHOI, I ran a simulation of my two favourite lottery numbers for about a million years on this Hyperion in GWbasic. It concluded that it would take at the minimum after about three or more simulations about 34,000 years to win the lottery. <br><br>There would possibly be a real interest in a show of old computers. I would most certainly bring my old Hyperion, and if I can find the parts, the Timex Sinclair, WITH the extra RAM module.<br><br>Cheers, Stacey F.<br><br><hr id="zwchr"><div style="color:#000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"><b>From: </b>"Adam Parkin" <pzelnip@gmail.com><br><b>To: </b>discuss@vlug.org<br><b>Sent: </b>Monday, August 17, 2015 11:35:55 AM<br><b>Subject: </b>Re: [Discuss] Free Commodore 64<br><br><div dir="ltr">Your definition of free differs from mine as the ad indicates it's $30.<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Aug 16, 2015 at 7:27 PM, Andrew Burgess <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:greydragon@gmail.com" target="_blank">greydragon@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><p dir="ltr">Its funny but I have a c64 and power supply but no printer or floppy drives.</p>
