Old computers

Does anybody have any old computers still lying about in their house? For example, Amigas, Commodore 64s, Ataris, etc. If so, do you still use 'em for anything, such as playing games?

We've still got an Amstrad CPC464 in our house, which was Amstrad's first computer. It has an amazing 64KB of RAM and uses a tape drive for storage - and we still have some tapes for it, too. :D I used to love playing Gauntlet on it. Man, that was cool.

On a slightly different note, I still like composing tunes for the Commodore 64 using an emulator, even though I've never owned one. It's just so cool to see what you can do in three channels with a limited range of commands and stuff. :D
