Ain't it the truth!

Did get a chuckle out of the chip puller!

And think of the lovely amount of sarcasm!  Of course Bob Johnson, the never ending tech support contact; I wonder how he can handle so many calls at the same time :hammer:

Loved my C64 remember going to london to get a replacement fuse. Yep a fuse on  a motherboard now theres a good idea.

What's with the 'modern computer era' crap at the start of the video? The modern computer era started with simple, affordable computers that anyone could use. A small box with a circuit board with some chips on it. Computers today are still like that.

Gets me worked up every single time

From the other photo of the back, it looks like only a couple rounds passed through the case.  Either that's a tough-a** case, or he was using a .22.

Yes all makes sense but you can't edit and encode a HD movie or mix 8 tracks of audio on a c64 or apple 2.

I was thinking  a .22 semi-automatic handgun due to the 8 shots, you could carry a 9th round in the chamber if needed for the coup de grâce.

I used to have an eight track audio player in my '70 Camaro.
