Well, not really a wall.. more of a shelf.

You´re in Australia I take it?
-
Well, you've got a lot of STs!!!!
-
Is that STs as in Atari STs? It's one of those familiar names, but I don't think I've ever actually seen one.
I love the look of the mini JCM, they are so cool.

That's what I was thinking.

the little JCM is cool, but i love the JMP. Those master volume amps are truly things of wonder

:) I'm not exactly sure why that happens..

The wheelie case has two in it as well...
More to those STs than meets the eye.. Of the seven on the shelves, only four are suitable for my live show, and one of those is broken. That leaves three, and I need two Ataris for the show.. So although it looks like I've got all the Ataris, I'm actually a bit light.

It's upside-down Miss Jane (old Aussie joke).
Also I haven't seen an Atari ST for a quarter of a century, not surprising that a lot of people here have never seen one. They did sell well here though, even if not quite as well as the Commodore 64.
I had an Amiga 500 for a couple of years and friends of mine had Commodore 64s and Vic 20s. Now if you remember a Vic 20 then you are pretty old. It was the lame cheap version of the C-64 with only a quarter of the memory and really rubbish graphics. I also have very strong memories of those bloody tape drives
-
My brother had two or three versions of the Sinclair Spectrum, and I think he had a secondhand Commodore 64 for a while. Or maybe it was an Amiga.
Apart from reading long pages of code to him so he could type in various "pokes" for games, I never got involved. I never have been into computer/video games at all, too many other things to stupidly waste my time on.....

I want that JMP. Fancy swapping it for a JCM800 ;)

We had a Vic 20 - my Dad got it as a Christmas present, it would have probably been about 30 years ago! I remember the excitement on Christmas Day when he opened it. We spent the rest of the day playing 'Rat Race' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_Rat_Race (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_Rat_Race) and 'Blitz' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blitz_(video_game) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blitz_(video_game)).
Although limited I did love having the Vic 20 and spent many a happy hour playing on it!

You can clam a shelf but no more.

Which circuit is that JCM800?

If I have to choose, I prefer Atari to guitar.. Luckily I don't have to ;)
It's all about my music though, I was never a massive gamer, even when I was young!

There's something quite charming about the old home computers. They feel rewarding to use

first computer I remember having was a texas instruments one where you had to copy in all the code from a book, then start again because you made a mistake. then maybe play a game for a few minutes. then put it all back in its special briefcase
