The use of a very old Commodore 64 may very well toss a serious wrench into the efforts of a police investigation.

VIENNA, Austria (AP) — Police combing through the house where Natascha Kampusch was held captive for 8 1/2 years said Tuesday they made an unusual discovery: her captor, a communications technician, used an obsolete computer — and his odd choice now threatens to complicate their investigation.
Maj. Gen. Gerhard Lang of the Federal Criminal Investigations Bureau said kidnapper Wolfgang Priklopil, who killed himself by jumping in front of a train within hours of Kampusch’s escape on August 23, relied exclusively on a Commodore 64 computer — a model popular in the 1980s but now considered an antique.
Lang told reporters the outmoded computer would complicate investigators’ efforts to transfer files for closer examination later, saying it would be difficult “to transmit the data to a modern computer without loss.”
Police have been digging pits and using long probes to poke around the property in suburban Strasshof, just northeast of Vienna, to ensure the house and garden do not conceal any other secret underground cells like the one beneath the garage where Kampusch often was confined…. Source: CNN
