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.

Ah, the good old days.... Remember "Deadline" ??? Great little text-based murder mystery game.

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