Commodore 64 Still Beloved After All These Years

Posted by Zonk on from the feel-the-love-from-the-cathode dept.

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.'"

    C64s were shit. Tapes were slow (and unreliable) and the disk drive was slower, in some cases. The cheapest build of any computer I've ever used. Give me a BBC Model B or a ZX Spectrum any day!

    I hear ya and I pretty much agree, but nothing matches the rabid ferocity that Amiga fans have.

    Yeah, both of them.
