I'm one of those Commodore people. Just recently in a fit of nostalga I
downloaded a Commodore 64 emulator along with the code for great game like
ZAXXON! I got my first one in 1983. I still have a working C=128 stored
somewhere here. They were great little computers and still reign as the
number one best selling computer of all time. That is, of coure, if you
don't include all PC's in one group. Those of you that had one of those will
remember the opening screen that said something like "Commodore Basic -
Copyright 1976 Microsoft, Inc" That was when Bill Gates and his partner
were still writing a lot of the code.
