Ebuyer runs on old hardware!

[Ferral]

Just found this pottering the net on a fine Sunday morning. Auction site Ebuyer are using hardware from 1982 as their servers. They have a CBM Pet, C64 and a rubber keyed Speccy 48k to name a few.

Pretty cool that they are still using the old hardware, just goes to show that it can still be put to good use instead of people like me thinking on the lines of retro gaming and thats it!!!

You don't actually think they are actually using those machines do you?

Last time I checked Ebay was the auction site and Ebuyer was an online computer store

Hey, I just stumbled on it while pottering the net. Cool if it was real but equally cool as to why they done it after reading the link you put up!

Yeah, I had a feeling Apache2 wouldn't compile for the Z80.

Ebuyer does not run on a ZX Spectrum. I think we can safely say that.

Jet Set Willy did though, and it was a superb game.
