To: Tell It Right
reading books and magazines on how to program my Commodore 64 I am a bit of a collector. I still have the first Commodore 64 that I purchased... it still works. I have quite a few other computers from the same time period. The challenge is getting the disk drives to work, and after sitting for about 40 years most of the floppies tend to be unreadable even if you are able to get the drives going.

I would do anything, anything! to go back in time and make copies of my old 51/4" disks to modern media, especially now that we have emulators for the old computers. I'd love to show my kids and grandkids what I did when I was young so they'd know that the sky is the limit, that they can do anything with their brains if they applied themselves.
