Albert Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Here's a link to a local news story with video. You can even see a Commodore 1702 monitor in one of the shots. http://woodtv.com/2015/06/11/1980s-computer-controls-grps-heat-and-ac/ ..Al 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+wood_jl Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I saw that story on Google News. What an interesting story, indeed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 "Early 1980's" is a slight exaggeration though. The video displays an Amiga 2000, which was available at earliest 1987, given that the school was one of the very first buyers. More likely 1988, which not quite would make the system 30 years old yet. They mention they have replaced the mouse and monitor, but supposedly the computer with hard drive has survived all those years. I don't know which Flash based storage solutions exist for a 2000, but it could be worth looking into before the drive gives up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
