Boy that thread sure brought back a lot of memories. I actually did have a Commodore 64 back in the day, and I remember having to wrap the power supply in ice to keep the machine from freezing up after a few hours.

My dad was an "early adapter." I remember his Tandy CoCo (first 16, then 32K) and his Coleco Adam computer, which he still has fond memories of.

Hehehehe... bringing back memories. Ran a BBS on my Commodore 64, had to have an after-market disk drive fan blowing into the back of the 1541. The bbs software i was running (cant remember the name) could also access the flip side of a 1571 via the c64. Only problem was that the c64 could not get the 1571 to spin backwards... so, everything was read 'backwards' off the flip side of the 1571, programmatically 'righted'. And oh yes, the 300 to 1200 baud upgrade was a special day for me.
