*************************************
I DON'T OFTEN FEEL NOSTALGIA
*************************************
Okay Nigel,
I don't often feel nostalgia about
Commodore computers; it's difficult
to do when you use them so
regularly, however I'll answer those
questions for you:
My first machine...
was actually a Texas TI99/4a,
although I don't have many solid
memories of it. This would have been
around 1982 I suppose. A few years
down the line, we got a Commodore
64, with datasette, joysticks and a
load of games. I was amazed that a
game could be loaded whilst playing
music, and that games could speak
without any hardware add-ons. The
first game I remember playing was
Park Patrol, which was great we also
had SOS, Delta, Alf in the Colour
Caves, Arcade Classics and Beech
Head II to start with. I suppose the
cries of "Medic" might make me feel
nostalgic every now and then. Superb
Why I use Commodore...
This is simple: because they're true
personal computers. I find
modern-days PCs rather more
impersonal to be honest, with the
world seemingly obsessed by how fast
this processor is, or how many cores
it has, or how much data the thing
can throw around the screen.
Impressive yes, but very impersonal.
As for what Commodore means to me...
everything!
Regards,
Shaun
