So, which of these systems is better for killing people?
Do Spectrum users deserve to die? Or are C64 users the
ones that must be eliminated?
And last but not least, I'm also a cannibal, so I want to know
if Commodore users are tastier than Spectrum users or vice versa?
Please help me to decide which group of users I should kill.

I don't think either has a serial port as standard, but the CBM is heavier,
as was their boss.

I actually think these computers would be far better as murder
weapons:
Commodore PET (drop on somebody's head)
Macintosh Plus / SE series..
Tandy Model 3
Macintosh II (not the smaller IIci and stuff, but the big one)
Kaypro portable (its made of metal, if I recall)
Commodore SX-64 (good flor slinging at somebody)
Original Compaq luggable (for the same reason)
The original Altair
I still think the PET makes the best murder weapon, but you'd have to
be strong enough to throw it or sling it at somebody. For women,
they'd need to use the SX-64.

Hi David!
hmmmm, I am still on the 1541, for the best killing weapon.
(In two instances if you ask me.... Passive ;) and Active.)
Best regards,

Hi David!
Your Question mark irritates me a bit.
Well, I have meant the old, heavy 1541. ;)
Although, the later 1571-II could be still used for passive kill :-)
Kind regards,
Daniel Mandic

If you must use a C=ommodore, the SX-64 is best suited for the job,
but I would sincerly see if you could possibly find an old Eniac on
Ebay or something. If one were to get hit with one of these, they
would not survive.

Rick is right. ENIAC is deadly.
>> Do Spectrum users deserve to die? Or are C64 users the
>> ones that must be eliminated?
Why limit your victims to small select groups?
>> And last but not least, I'm also a cannibal, so I want to know

It depends on how much BBQ sauce you use.
>> Please help me to decide which group of users I should kill.
Start with yourself and you will have to make no more choices.

I can visualize it now... this Gomez creep pushing an ENIAC out of a 12th
floor window onto the crowded sidewalk below.

Or ramp up the paper tape speed (clock) on a Collossus to 9600 CPS - it
tends to break at [around] that speed...I wouldn't want to stand near the
tape flying around at ~60mph. [There's only one [rebuilt] now in existence,
so you'll have to take them to BP.]

Isn't 1571-II missing in action? As far as I know, it is only
mentioned on the 1541-II power supply.
It would be a waste of resources to sling a piece of hardware not
previously known to exist onto someone. I'm sure there are similar
Sinclair hardware that never saw the daylights that if you anyway
happened to come across one, would not consider throwing it away
the first thing you did.

Hold on - Death? I don't recall my Spectrum ever killing anyone.

Death will drain health from you. He will take up to 200 health and
then die. The only way to kill Death is with magic. Don't even think
about fighting him hand to hand or shooting him - they will have no
effect!

Go back to a centuries old calculating instrument the abacus.
The Russian ones are of heavy wood and, depending on your strength and
ability, could be fatal
Chinese abacuses are quintal based, having two registers, which can
make calculations
a bit involved.
Try testing a 5 figure integer for primality on a chinese one. By the
time you have finished your brain will be fuddled and your victim
with his office adding machine will have run off.
..
While at BP get hold of an enigma machine. The roros skilfully bowled
would inflict serious damage.
Even more fiendishly, get your opponent entangled in Babbage's
difference engine, vigorously crank the handle and see the difference
to him.
