Visiting my wife's grandparents and her Grandpa told me he had an old Apple computer that I could have if I wanted it. Well it's not an Apple Computer but an original C64 in the original box. Quite a shock to see that one pulled out.

Sort of an odd one: A Healthkit Model 10-12 Laboratory Oscilloscope, given as a graduation gift, which was in production from the early to late '60s. I quickly tried to bodge something so I could listen to some lissajous music with it:

That takes me back to my bass guitar amp testing days when I left school. Seems like a lifetime ago now.

Thanks. Only issue is that it came from the US, I'm in Europe, so I have to order some plug adapters before I can use it. Hopefully I should be able to get it all set up later today. My first time wining a prize in such a competition.

Safe to say I'm buying a lottery ticket this month! :)

A two-night complimentary stay at the Park MGM Resort & Casino in Las Vegas by playing the myVEGAS game on Facebook. Doesn't cost anything to play and you can earn points to redeem free stuff in Vegas, such as hotel stays, show tickets, and meals.

My company let me keep this 2015 MacBook Pro (2.5GHz i7 and 16GB ram) since they don't want to spend money to fix it. There are some lines along the screen on the left side which I don't mind and will eventually get it fixed. It'll cost me eventually $500- $600 but we bought it for around $2400 I think when it came out. It's free for now haha.

It's probably just a loose display cable.
