As a "retro-computing nerd" I would assume you have a Microbee in your collection. If not wait a couple months or so for the release of a new model Microbee and then you can play all those old programs again as they are all in our Repository plus many more.
Unfortunately not yet, although I'd love to add it to my small but growing collection. I'll keep an eye out for the new release!
Otherwise, thanks for the welcome MbeeTech and ChickenMan!
Hey Void,
As another "I have a bit of everything" retro collector, I was curious as to what you currently have.
(Here's my lists of retro computers and retro consoles)
Cheers!

Hi John,
My collection pales in comparison to yours. I have a TI-994A with the peripheral expansion box - this was my childhood computer. I have a C64, which as a TI owner caused me a lot of jealousy towards my C64 owning friends, but now I finally own one. I have always been in love with the sound of the SID chip - I have two synthesizers that are based around the SID (Sidstation and Therapsid) and at last count I think I own around 6 or 7 SID chips. I also have a ZX Spectrum N-GO, which is pretty cool as the FPGA can be reprogrammed to many different 8-bit machines of that era. On the console front, an original Gameboy, GBA, NES, Master System, Megadrive, a modded PS1, and a whole bunch of Game & Watches. Not sure if they're considered retro yet, but also an Xbox 360, a DS Lite and a 3DS.
Unfortunately I have to balance retro computer collecting with my synth collection, but it's a fun journey.
Hoping to add a Microbee to the list when the new release is out!
Cheers!
Rob.
