Entry 7th August 2023: Post 1: Commodore C64C - Most popular.
Commodore C64C - Most popular.
What you are looking at here is the most popular home computer of
all time. Not necessarily the C64C but the C64 range of machines.
Time was that Commodore knew exactly what they were doing and the
C64C epitomizes a computer most definitely fit for purpose.
I do like the C64C and whenever I set this machine up I get lost
for hours. I always grab Simon's BASIC and GEOS plus the mouse and
with the 1571 disk drive I am away. Never a dull moment. So easy
to use and byte for byte the most value you could ever get out of
a computer.
The style of this machine is exquisite and a joy to behold. It is
of a size that fits well on any desktop and so easy to move around.
I do hope that over the last few days I have been able to show that
with just a little tender care and the most modest of housekeeping
you can maintain older machines in near pristine condition. There
really is no need to hack, slash and pimp out your old kit. You
certainly don't need to attack them with nasty chemicals. The C64C
shows just how easy it is to have a thing of beauty that will last
for ever. I keep this computer at the ready propped up behind a
BBC covered in a few sheets of tissue. Magic computer.
Anyhoo that was the Commodore C64C from 1987 running Commodore
BASIC V2.0 using the 6510A CPU. Famous for the VIC II and SID. You
seriously cannot go wrong with this computer.
