We all are ;)

These are the 64-256 motherboards, from 1984. Think of it this way,
college freshmen were only 2 years old when these computers were
purchased... Scarry, eh?

BTW, the floppy drives appear to be Tandon 100-2A, with IBM faceplates.
48 TPI DSR.

I'm waiting for the day that some Antiques Roadshow person starts to
Gush about the fine old 'patina' on the metal parts of some floppy drive.
I plan to throw up right about then...
