Commodore 64 turns 25
I never had one, I had the Apple II and Apple II+ but you have to admire the Guinness Book of World Records, best selling computer.
Thinking about it, only 25 years old? I had an Apple II in 1978. I always thought the Commodore was about the same age. http://www.cnn.com/2007/TECH/ptech/12/07/c64/index.html |

Don't get discouraged; it's usually the last key that opens the lock...

The 64 was my first computer too. I was probably 6 years old, but that thing was the coolest...

Somewhat related, the History Chan. has a show of "1980's tech" and showed what was invented in the '80s like the PC, CD, walkman, VHS and Beta and talked how porn won the VHS/Beta war. It was a very interesting show; I just saw it 2 nights ago.

We used to have one of those. I remember playing Gorf on my grandpa's Vic 20. This makes me feel so old.

If there is nobody out there, that's a lot of real estate going to waste!

Used to have one of those, along with an Apple.
I remember playing Shamus to all hours of the night. FYI ...... In 1975, an IBM mainframe computer that could perform 10,000,000 instructions per second cost around $10,000,000. In 1995 (only twenty years later), a computer video game capable of performing 500,000,000 million instructions per second was available for approximately $500! |

My first computer too - I bought one the year they came out, when they were still pretty pricey.
Using that lame little tape reader for storage, ha ha. Taught myself computing on that boxy little sucker. damn I'm like fucking ancient... |
