Don't forget some sweet Atari emulation on that Mac, I got a Mini and finally got the Windows Altirra Emulator working with Wine on OSX: https://www.atariorbit.org/2024/12/26/altirra-arm-and-sequoia/ Then you can run the fujiNet posix app on your mac and go do all the FujiNet fun - without leaving your MacBookPro. -andy

I got The Spectrum. Programming on that thing is pretty crazy.
Not retro-related, but I got a MacBook M4 Pro. Very fast. Runs the Amiga and C64 emulation great. Now I just have to get the C64 and Amiga cross-compiler tools built for it. I build them from source as I like to understand how they work, and I like the old school UNIX feel of building stuff myself.
Not for the holidays, but I also recently obtained the C64 Reloaded MK2 for a custom C64 I’m bulling that I intend to mostly use as a Synthesizer.
BTW. The C64Maxi is awesome. I just wish there was an easy way to plug a MIDI interface into it. But if you just want to experience using a C64, that’s about as good as you'll get without the real deal. I am looking forward to the Amiga Maxi ( or whatever they are going to call it ).

Did anyone else besides Dave Shevett and Ben Krein receive any vintage computer related gifts this month?
I got The400 Mini, which is a modern reproduction of The Atari 400. I already have TheC64 Mini and TheC64 Maxi. I'm hoping to get TheA500 Mini someday!
I use these when traveling long distances to vintage computer shows when I'm flying.
