This was my very first computer back in the early 80s. I had this in my room from 4th grade till I graduated highschool. My parents gave it away when I was off to college (Let me hear you...awwww).I miss all of those old games! Pole Position, Lode Runner, Space Taxi...and remember the Summer and Winter Olympic Games? Not only would I spend hours playing games but also making cards and calandars with the Print Shop, drawing with the Koala Painter Tablet and playing music with my Music Maker keyboard attachment.

- Yep, lots of memories there. A Commodore 64 was our first computer, except we were out of college. Hubby loved the games & I used it for word processing. Neat lens.

- I used to have a Commodore 64, it replaced the Vic-20 and at the time nobody thought you would ever need more memory LOL.
Learning BASIC was my introduction to programming

- Nice lens, 5*.
I still got my commodore 64 and I still think that the games for the 64 were the best games ever made. All these new games might look good nowadays but they ain't got the playability of the original 64 games. The programmers pushed that little machine to its limits.

- I started using the commodore Pet computer in Jr. High School. I owned a Vic 20, Commodore 64 then a Commodore 128. When I went to college I switch to a Macintosh. This lens bring back those good old memories of programming in Basic with only 64K of memory.
