The only time I think I have too many computers is when I have to move all my computers.

Shit.
I saw Woz the other weekend. He said to ask for $666.66 whenever a monetary value is required.

I now have a PC-9821, specifically a Cx13. It has a 4-disc slot loading CD changer and a video capture card. I plan to use it to host a PC-FXGA card. Runs beautifully out of the box! #pc98 #japanese #vintagecomputing
