I've launched a merch shop: shop.jdmcs.com - use code JUSTINTIME for 5% off all Computerized Start™ merchandise through at least May 31th!

Two weeks ago, I picked up two PowerPC-era Macs from a friend, and he asked if I'd like some Commodore computers. Yesterday (as of the date of this livestream), he had gathered those computers together and had them ready for pick-up. And fortunately, I arrived between rain storms.
I'm trying not to peek too much at what I have, but some things can't be hidden: I have an "old in box" (his words, as he beat me to it) Commodore 64C, and well as another broken Commodore in an old school copy paper box. There are also a few books, and some floppy disks.
Will either Commodore show any signs of life? Will the broken one be an easy fix? Will we find an unarchived application in the box? You'll have to watch to find out!

Ive launched a merch shop: https://shop.jdmcs.com - use code APPLEFOOLS for 7% off all April Apples merchandise through April 30th!

Adam sent me an Apple ][+ that needs repairs, and COMPUTER is suffering from bad 74LS-series chips. Can I fix both computers using eBay (the place where I buy things I later regret)? Maybe. But the more important question is, Will there be regrets along the way?
Will COMPUTER say COMPUTER again? Will the Apple ][+ say APPLE ][ again? Will all the parts even arrive in time for this stream? Youll have to watch to find out!
