Anyone here remember the Commodore days?

I remember all the text based games. Hitchhikers guide to te galaxy drove me insane figuring out that game.

I started with a Com Vic20. I started my code writing with that one and had a tape drive for it (cassettes!). I remember upgrading to the C64 and shelling out like $400 for the 5.25" drive for it. I learned most of my code skills and early encyption on this machine.

I never bothered with the 128 as I was custom building by then.

Even though I had a C128 there never really seemed to be a whole lot of really good software made for it. Thanks goodness for dual mode. There was GEOS which was the equivelant to a Windows type of operating system back in the day. Fancy for the Commodore days although still nothing to brag about.

Here is "one" of my first C= programs that my Dad bought me for school since that was what the computer was initially purchased for.



Of course once I got into BBS's on line and making new friends on line, trading public domain and other software, getting invited to trade parties that was pretty much it for the educational part as it pertained to school anyway. I still used it for school just not as much as the other stuff. Actually I had learned "a lot" from that now old computer.

p.s. I forgot to mention that the above picture is kind of crappy as it was taken so long ago with one of my first digital cameras. I believe it was a 1 Megapixel camera at that time. Thank goodness for evolving technology.
