Always wondered what it would fetch on Ebay.
WOW I still have mine. Ok, its in a box in the garage but I still have it.
I also have an Amiga which is even better.
Dude, it’s like...retro.
I miss my old 5150 keyboard. That sucker was built like a tank. And the feel and click were most satisfying.
It was the 2nd computer I ever programmed in machine language. The TRS-80 Model III was the first.
I bought a ‘64 with the money I scraped up doing odds and ends when I was a teen. I spent almost every waking moment on that computer and bought every C-64 magazine I could get my hands on. My Parents thought I was obsessed. They we’re right.
Computing may have been crude and slow back then, but man, was it fun!
It doesn’t come with a tape drive.
Come on man.
You never forget your first love...
I adore my 64!

RAID OVER MOSCOW
When you stop and think about it, it really was pretty amazing what you could get an ole ‘64 to do and run, alas, those were the days.
My C-64 is buried someplace in the house ! The only thing, will the floppies still work ?
if I were to design a new commodore, I would insist on integrating it with a simple interpreted programming language (such as Python) just as the C64 did with BASIC.
I had a vic 20.
The C64 was my second computer. I mainly used it for games but at the time it was a decent computer. Heck I remember calling BBS Boards (my first Internet experience) with a 300 baud modem. It was pretty cool back then.
The drive (the 1541) was slow... even at the time. Took like 3 minutes to load a program from a 5 1/4 floppy disk.
Why all the Amigas? After a model had been on the market for a few years, a friend and I would buy them used just to get tons of software that the sellers tossed in with the hardware. Eventually, people just started giving them to me because they knew I was (still am) an Amigaite.
I envy all you programmers, I just never had the patience, however I saw a demo of “Python” & all I can say is WOW.
Now, if only an old dog can teach himself some new tricks.
Oh God...Commodore owners are worse than Apple owners in their smugness.
