A few days ago I picked up the oldest computer I've come across so far. It's an old IBM 5150. I got it from a close friend's grandpas house. He unfortunately passed away and they called me in to help clear out some stuff and recycle the metal and electronics. I have the keyboard and monitor that came with it. And a printer that looks about from that era. Haven't been able to test anything yet on account of being too busy and having it at my recently acquired storage unit rather than at home. But I will test it before anything. At least see if it boots up or not since I don't have any floppies that came with it. From my searching they don't go for huge money (based on sold ebay listings) so I'm not in any immediate rush to test it for sale. And I have way too much stuff to break down right now so my time is better spent working on that. But I wanted to share my find with you guys since you're the only ones I know that will get excited over a 30+ year old computer. Lol.
