This was prompted by another article commemorating the 60th anniversary of ENIAC." I started on a trash 80 in like 5th grade. And although I did a lot of programming and games on 8086s, it wasn't until I got a 286 in middle school that I really considered a machine "Mine".

When Atari fanbois complain about '84 being the "dark age of video games" and suchlike, do you wonder WTF they are talking about? The worst years for Atari games were some of the best years for C64 games.
