Still, this picture is on a public site, there should be at least an explanation that goes along with it... or some appology to the C64 community.
I think the pictures should be removed and post an apology somewhere. This is shameful for the MSX community and something I definitely don't want to be part of.
It was discussed on MRC shortly after the Oss fair, also with mixed reactions. Some ppl thought it was bad, others compared it to crashing an old printer orso, or an old unused MSX1, and didn't make such an issue about it.
Hammering old computers is just stupid.
It's okay for me to joke about C64 users (+ others scenes), and for C64 users (& others) to make fun about us MSX users.
..But it when it comes to this, we need to apologize about the "incident". It's just wrong.
Don't be a tightass. it's just damn funny smashing them C64 or anything else (even MSX stuff). Every-one thinks it's funny at the moment it happens, but afterwards it's always blablabla.
it's always funny untill some-one gets hurt, then it's just hilarious.
c' mon! Anybody got a problem with that philips MSX printer I threw in the garbage last week? (now, THAT's horror!)
(oh, I've got this monochrome monitor, still working, which is of no use to me... any one?)

So uh, bot?
I just love ANY homecomputer, even commodore. Hell, I got a c64 and amiga stacked in the attic which I loved. Also an atari 520 a speccy (zx81) and a BBC computer. I used to have a texas instrument, but sold it waaaaay back. (damn, that's bad.)
MSX still is my favorite tho.
Hammering old computers is just stupid.True, but making such a big fuzz about it is imho even worse... Come on, we're talking about a piece of non-functioning (*) electronic equipment, which would have gone to the garbage anyway.
(*)Yes, I was there; no, I didn't bash the C64; yes, I do think it was funny.
a speccy (zx81)
/me slaps ro about a bit with a C64... (Ow, wait, no, that's wrong. Can't hurt them C64. Sorry.)
A speccy is not a zx81!
zx spectrum... speccy... no? wasn't SPECTRUM the brand? no? No
[edit]Ah, editing after posting eh? ;) Sinclair was the brand, zx80, zx81, spectrum, QL (and others?) the models[/edit]
