ScuzzBlog: Diaries December 2018 Entry 21st December 2018: Post 01: Commodore 64C - Popping them C's Commodore 64C - Popping them C's Shortest day and yet the most on show for a day in a long time. So what am I up to... Well other than playing way too much of the game League of Legends [ as you do ] I have been up to my neck in C64C computers. Folk that read the blog know that I have these computers stored away and with the C64C I have boxed versions and way more sitting around being used generally. And so to the box cupboard again and inside I found three of the computers stacked at the bottom, so I thought I better just check that they are working. And then I went to my main storage area which I have in the adjacent room where I have my main Amiga stockpile and there sitting between a row of five A500s is yet another C64C box trying to look all 'Amigafied' and not fooling anyone. So I put down Ahri and opened up the four boxes, first the three stacked boxes from the cupboard and then the one from the next room. Surprise surprise they all worked just fine. Commodore 64 - Loadsa C's Number 1 Number 2 Number 3 And number 4 And finally .... PS. Just a scuzz comment. I would never ever unnecessarily take a keyboard apart and risk destroying it and the keys with Retro Brighting or what ever its called. Aesthetics are a state of mind and my brain sees age as a beautiful thing and not something to try and defy. The problem is that each time you undertake such processes on a computer you destroy the very nature of the plastic and its coating. Worse, the computer is put at risk through damage to keys and the like. Once the computer has lost its original coating it is no longer the same case. I am quite happy to repair faulty items where I can but I wouldn't wilfully destroy something just cus I have a problem with something's age. One other comment and one that relates to the insides.... I guess I'm lucky. My computers work. I don't buy into the old capacitor issue given that I have over 200 computers and they generally all work. All my Amigas do.. so why do so many others have a problem. I really don't know. So simple rule... Aint broke, don't fix it. You gotta love that yellow.... so mellow.
