OSI Superboard for me as well. I did the hardware modification to jump from 1Mhz to 2Mhz clock speed. Wrote my own 6502 assembler for it, first in BASIC, then in assembler. Couldn't afford a floppy drive so everything was stored to a cassette tape drive. I've still got some of the cassettes sitting on my shelf.
Mine's a GE AM/FM digital clock radio from about 1975 and I still use it as my alarm and clock by my bed. I had to replace the internal speaker at one point, but otherwise it still works perfectly.
One feature that I really like is that the time and alarm setting have a reverse feature so it's easy to adjust the alarm forward or back.
Other old stuff still in use that all works perfectly: - IBM M series keyboard - Radio Shack multimeter - about 35 years old - Nikko stereo receiver - about 30 years old
In 1987 I wrote a code generator in C. Starting in 1988, it has generated 500,000+ lines of COBOL code for accounting systems which are still in use today at a number of locations. I still use the code generator today for Java code and for creating web surveys.
I just picked up a Casio solar powered watch, digital with a rechargable battery and solar cells above and below the face. It's got tons of features like world clock, 5 alarms with 4 alarm modes, phone number memory, count down timer etc. It even appears to have a motion sensor to come on after it has gone into power saving mode. It's strange to have a watch with a power level display on it..signature: Permission denied
