& was the closest happy I have had to the old Amiga Workbench. THAT NEVER failed.

Everyone involved with the fall of Commodore needs to be lined up and shot.

Well, as long as it’s nostalgia time...

I once advanced to level 18 on Tetris, using the original Nintendo with one of those “arrow key and button” controllers.

Haven’t played a video game since.

If I could buy a commodore with a contemporary 64-bit quad processor using a re-written Commodore Basic interpreted programming language, and being able to use modern peripherals and continue to be able write my own programs using Commodore interpreted Basic.

It was the most fun I ever had, programming a 128 Kb?-RAM commodore 128.
I worked as a civil engineer for over 45 years, and there was no common engineering problem that could not be written to run and print on the C64 or the C128 including astronomy problems, coordinate geometry, dynamics, hydraulics etc.
