Gum trees and computers

Just walked down to my local bakery in the rain to grab some fresh bread. The smell in the air was amazing. Not from the bakery, but everywhere due to the rain and the Australian Gum trees around here.
Makes me want to live in the bush. Also makes me miss Tasmania a bit; One lives much closer to nature there generally. Im a bit sick of the Suburbia we are living in at the moment.

Yesterday, Girlfriend and I went to a Baptists Op shop and bought some Computer items for my Collection. 3 Apple IIe’s, 4 monitors to suit, 3 5 1/4” floppy drives to suit and a Commodore PC 10-II. Sweet as!

plus, the day before yesterday :) (Wednesday) Girlfriend found an Atari 2600 boxed with 15 games, manual and 2 power supplies. The console itself even has the bubble wrap around it! :) how much? $2!!
something like that would go for $50 upwards on eBay but I’m keeping it :)
