Still have my Commodore 64. It still works. And I still have probably a hundreds of games and progams I downloaded from the old BBS systems on a 300 baud modem that at the time I thought was the coolest thing in the world. I busted my butt one summer mowing lawns to afford to pay for my own telephone line so that I could spend endless hours on that thing. And then the movie WarGames came out and I beefed up my efforts to take over the world on my old C64 :)
Love it! I started out on C64 too. Buying computer magazines and programming books. Didn't really understand much back then but it was everything I wanted to spend my time on.
Same boat. Funny a few years ago I was cleaning some stuff in my parent's basement and came across a collection of old computer magazines from back then. Ended up climbing up in the attic, grabbing the old C64, and hooking it up just to make sure it still worked. Started right up and worked just like the first day I got it. Wish I could go back to those days without a care in the world.
