    God i'm going to be one of the few who has ever voted on those machines -think i did it twice and all, i thought they were cool to use - can i buy one for nostallgic purposes?
    There was a bloke on the radio a while back saying that because the computer chips in them are so big and bulky they would make excellent tools to teach kids about computers - possible use for them?
