Yep, I was a C-64 man myself. You could do a lot with 64k. In the office we went for Xenix on a Tandy 6000 (basically a Unix machine). I had 10 terminals hanging on that thing, using spreadsheet, word processor and database programs on the server. The whole setup was about $10k, a lot cheaper than networking PCs, which were selling for about $3k apiece at the time.

As far as I know, the C64 can still be useful in catching and reading packets sent and received (hack n crack).. :)
And the Amiga had the best gaming graphics and sound, back in the day ;~)

I still have one Vic-20 out in the garage. Used to build Ham Radio 2 meter repeater controller boards that plugged directly into the expansion port and burn controller software on a EEprom written in 6502 assembler. Was so easy those days.
