found the computer but it is a C64 and
they appear baffled about how to transfer
the files.

“antique”…. There are
quite a few websites of C64 enthusiasts, I have at least
ten of the machines myself (school board
auction!). I’m not sure why they can’t
get the machine running, perhaps they can’t
find a mouse!! :D
Sounds like we need a new TV show called “Desperate
Historians.”
