I just found out the C64 is back!
I don’t know If any of you used the machine at its heyday, I did and I’m ordering one now!
Man the world is changing… Backwards!

Oh the new Windows 10 update. 
Think your ex wife may notice the difference.

I had a VIC20 that was a handed down to me. I remember spending a lot of time playing Gorf, one of the few games I had for it.
That being said, I have forced myself to stop buying these retro mini-systems. While they hold a lot of nostalgia, a simple emulator usually provides a much better experience.

Did you notch your disks to turn floppies into flippies? A risky, but cost conscious move… 
I didn’t know about the ‘new’ release - have to investigate a bit, I guess. I still have a C128 (D) - so effectively I have a real C64 as well. Definitely a good way to learn to program! (used to use C128 to write BASIC programs too big for C64 memory, then compile them and they would fit. I got a pretty capable BBS program out of that trick!..

sure 
i also remember that i write off games from a magazine. I mean it was the ASM in germany cool time.
I went (kinda expensively) nuts on that - I actually got a numeric keypad (plugged into the user port) so I could more easily type in those magazine games (and do spreadsheets). I also remember an MSD dual drive (easy disk copies!) and a cartridge expansion port (still have!).
Was really into it until the Amiga came around

I jumped in with an A1000 - and the C128 started getting ignored. I kept a 1541 around to show people that the drive of a C64 was smarter than an Apple ][, though - and it sounded better too! (I loved to make it sing).

We had Commodore 64 back in mid 80’s and after that Amiga 500 with RAM expansion from 512K to 1024K and then mid 90’s a Commodore SX386 with 100MB disk. I eventually got hold of Stacker which made it possible to hold more than twice as much data on the same disk.
At my work as a locksmith early late 80’s early 90’øs we had a 286 with 1M RAM to control a key making machine and special software to design our own keys.
