Reboot, indeed!
Rising from the murky depths of computer history, the Commodore 64 rides again!

kshandra and I had a C64 back in the day (which meant we ended up with boxes and boxes of other peoples' Commodore junk) and enjoyed it. Owning a C64 was like owning a VW Microbus. It was cranky, didn't use any standard parts, required constant care and fine-tuning, but owning one made you part of the cult.
I still remember running the SSI Gold Box AD&D games on that machine. Several times I would have a combat encounter start, order a pizza, and the pizza would arrive before the combat had finished loading. Good times.
Tip of the floppy disk tofilkertom for the link.

The 64 was my second computer. My first was the Timex Sinclair. They say we always remember our first.... :-)
