You have a Commodore 64? I worked there (at the Valley Forge lab) during the summer between my high school junior and senior years. I wrote and ran my first BASIC program on one.
Ah, I remember the Coleco Adam computer. Daisywheel printer that sounded like an Uzi. Streaming mag tapes. The printer broke down frequently though and since it contained the power supply for the entire system, the whole computer was useless junk until the printer was repaired.
I have four Commodore 64 models. I have two of the original grey versions, one of the newer white models (reminescent of the Commodore 128), and an SX-64, the luggable version. I bought my first one in 1984 (I was working with Commodore PET 4032 computers in high school at the time) and it saved my ass in school: life was much, much easier with a word processor (Paperclip) at home rather than pounding out papers in long-hand or on a typewriter.
Somewhere, I still have the Gemini 10x dot matrix printer I bought with it. The 300 baud modem should be around here somewhere, with the joysticks.
A few weeks ago, I managed to get my 1541 floppy drive connected to a Windows PC so I could transfer all of my old programs and data files to something a little less ancient. I was amazed to find the 5.25" diskettes untouched for 20 years were still readable.

You have to swap the floppy quite a bit though.
And I do mean the original version of dark castle...
