Ahhh the old VIC-20 computer! Packed with a mind boggling 5k, yes that's right 5k of RAM and it raced along at a blinding speed of 1mhz! Those were the days!!!!!!

I still have my Vic-20 complete with computer tape deck, and a whole bunch of Game Cartridges (Gorf, Avengers, Jupiter Lander ...), but sadly the connector that goes to the TV is broke, so it doesn't work anymore :\'(

Oh yeah, the good ol' Vic. I seem to remember Bill Shatner hocking those things on television commercials.

Of course! I had Amiga 2000 in 1988-> It was a huge development from C64 and damn, I had my moments with all those great games.

Never had a Vic-20, though a friend of mine did. Never had an Amiga neither, for that matter, though another friend of mine had a couple. I did have both a c64 and a c128 though. Pretty sure I still have the c128 (including the drive, potentially a monitor, and a 300 baud modem) in storage at my mom's place. :)

Yep, we had a couple of them in my junior high school.

I never had one but we had several in the library in middle school. I had to sit out of p.e. awhile because I tore the cartlidge in my knee in football practice. They'd send me to the library each day where I'd play Pirate Island (after waiting for what seemed like an eternity for it to load from tape).
My original computer was a TI 99/4a . Still got it in a box in the closet.
