I don't think I've ever heard that type of justification for not owning a vintage computer. In my experience, for the most part, if it's already in good working order, it will pretty much stay that way. I have had a few computers blow caps here and there, but nothing of the Commodore or Apple variety. I expect most of them to last through my lifetime. To answer the original question, in terms of strictly C-64, SX-64, C-64c, C-128, and C-128DCR computers, I have 9, including my original C-64 from back in the day. They all work, although one of the C-128's has a busted keyboard (from shipping) and my two SX-64s need keyboard refurbs. -Bill ======================================================== Bill Loguidice, Managing Director; Armchair Arcade, Inc. <http://www.armchairarcade.com> ======================================================== Authored Books <http://www.amazon.com/Bill-Loguidice/e/B001U7W3YS/ref=ntt_dp_epwbk_1> and Film <http://www.armchairarcade.com/film>; About me and other ways to get in touch <http://about.me/billloguidice> ======================================================== On Sun, Feb 19, 2017 at 6:27 AM, corey cohen via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:

I won't own a vintage computer which is nearly all custom chips where you need to hoard them for the future. As an Apple guy I don't even own a IIc, IIe or a GS for that reason. ROMs don't count, you can always burn a prom to replace it.
Cheers, Corey
