Who has the oldest computer?

Who has the oldest computer that is still used? I have a friend with a old 486 that he still uses every day. I also have another friend with a PII 233. That one is used everyday as well. Myself, I just built my computer I have now, a few months ago. Before this, I wasr using a old 233.

I actually just unplugged it today to donate to Goodwill, but I was running a 1990ish Macintosh LC complete with its own dot matrix printer!!!!

That thing had less memory than my Discman!!!!

I have an old Macintosh Classic in my basement, as well as a Commodore 64. Neither of them are used very often, but both are in working condition.

We have a P166 (overclocked to 200mhz) that my parents use on a daily basis for keeping track of financial stuff, and they use it for e-mail as well.

I use my laptop for everything, i keep all my shit on my it, and I dont let no one touch it (for fear of parents or sis deleting VB projects, or other assignments that would take weeks to recreate)

I also have a 386 (I think its an SX 10mhz) around here, but its too useless for anything as well.

my parents don't use any of the old comuters, but i've seen some old ass ones in the storage room in the basement. I think there's one from around 1990 some big ibm
but my dad get's new laptops from work so there's no point of using the old ones

Your Commodore 64 still works! amazing. Mine went kaput years ago, sound first, graphics later. Then I had an old Pentium I 166 I got for 50$ with a dot-matrix printer, but we chunked that one and got a PII 266 that my bro still uses, and then there is this one, a PIII 866.

I would love to play my old C64, *sob* it was so cool...

I have a 486 33 Mhz downstairs. My computer is a 1.0 Ghz Athalon. Right now im on my moms 233 K62. My dad has a P1 200 Mhz, which is still a great computer if you ask me. I'll ask what my step-dad sues everyday when he gets back.

The Comodore 64 has to rank right up near the top. I have an old 286 with an orange monochrome monitor. Why do I still have it? I dont know, its just kinda neat to turn it on again and remember the days when this was king on the desktops.

I HAD a P90, with it's amazing 500 meg hard disk and a whopping 14.4k modem. It was awesome for Warcraft 2!

We still have a 1983 Commodore 128 (the more advanced 128 version of the 64, but it still runs 64 games and programs flawlessly) in mint condition (aside from a little keyboard discoloring). I use it all that time, we have like 500+ games. I have an old one piece like 1979 Radio Shack computer that still works perfectly, but I never use it. It's just cool, with the green monitor. They were common hacker's computers back in the day.
