Commodore 64The Commodore 64 is celebrating it's 25th anniversary!

What memories. The C64 hit the shelves in August of 1982 and brought computing to millions that previously couldn't afford it.

I think I got my first C64 sometime in 1983. It wasn't technically my first computer - I had a Timex-Sinclair TS-1000 and a couple of eval boards before - but the C64 was definitely the machine that got me into writing code.

I remember the C64 and not too fondly, either....kidnapped my boyfriend in my junior year of high school and refused to turn him loose...followed shortly thereafter by relocation to Texas and the rest is programming history...LOL
