Commodore 64 Still Beloved After All These Years

techsoldaten writes "CNN is running a story about the Commodore 64 and how people are still devoted to it after all these years. "Like a first love or a first car, a first computer can hold a special place in people's hearts. For millions of kids who grew up in the 1980s, that first computer was the Commodore 64. Twenty-five years later, that first brush with computer addiction is as strong as ever.'"

Nostalgia

[Archangel Michael]

Since when does Nostalgia equate to news and stuff that matters? If I write a piece on the PCjr (my first PC), filled with nostalgia and how wonderful a machine it was, will it get a link here? After all, it was the first PC to break 640k DOS limit.

Or how about TI 99? (my first portable)

Or Apple II? (first school computer)

Or TRS-80? (first machine I programmed in Assembly on)

Nostalgia is of limited interest, almost by definition.
