Comments on: I Love My C-64 http://www.alstongrove.com/posts/28 Welcome to the throes of my thoughts Sun, 05 Feb 2012 18:25:49 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Rob http://www.alstongrove.com/posts/28#comment-24 Rob Tue, 30 Nov 1999 00:00:00 +0000 http://maize.dhs.org/wp/?p=28#comment-24 Ahhh ... the good 'ol C-64 days. My first computer was the Vic-20 with a oh-so-speedy tape drive. Only Eric would know the baud rate on that thing. What, maybe 2 bits / sec? Certainly seemed like it. :-) But it wasn't until I got a C-64 that my computer experience was jumpstarted. Of course, I wasn't doing any machine language coding ... my interest in the C-64 was really all about games. I tried typing in programs into my Vic-20 from some Commodore magazine I had ... but I got more frustrations than enjoyment from the whole thing. Actually, I don't think I ever got a program to run. Here's to the great C-64! Ahhh … the good ‘ol C-64 days. My first computer was the Vic-20 with a oh-so-speedy tape drive. Only Eric would know the baud rate on that thing. What, maybe 2 bits / sec?
