Paul Thurott has a post on his blog about a book on the Commodore 64. The first computer my family ever owned was a 64, way back around 1984-1985 when I was 2-3 years old.
Those were the best machines. Amazing how good those things were, especially at games. Those machines never died too, years later around 1992-1993, my elementary school still had a bunch of those in classrooms. To this day, I can’t decide if it was because they were so good or because my school was so cheap that they couldn’t upgrade them. Probably both.
