Comment Really old stuff (Score 1) 170
I am a REALLY old geek, but I cut my teeth on the Z80 processor running in a TRS80 model III. You can pick them up on EBay for next to nothing compared to the original asking price of $1999. You could even step up the the model 4 with 64K of RAM for about the same price. Don't know if you can still find it, but back in the day, you could get a version of MS-DOS that would run on these beasts.
I personally coded a nice BBS on one of these. It was faster at processing information than most of the Apples and C64s of the time.
