I had one of those as a kid.

It was a very interesting piece of electronics. Nothing like the x86-based stuff we have now. You could start programming (BASIC) from the first prompt; in fact, that's pretty much what the machine expected you to do.

It also had no internal hard drive; everything was done with floppies (the actual floppy floppies, 5 1/4"), with options for a tape drive (as in an actual cassette tape) or cartridge.

The games were unique and awesome, Rob Hubbard was a god of music on the SID chip, but the load times were fucking terrible. Especially for a seven-year-old.

Around the same time as the spectrum by sinclair. I wish I grew up in the 80s for that sometimes.

My favorite day of last year was getting a C128 again - Off the curb of a neighbor who was tossing it, in the original box, with a handful of disks and a ton of associated books. Hooked it up to a TV, works perfectly fine. Just need a disk drive now.

Commodore is <3

I had a VIC-20. That was fun.
