That's where I started on my VIC 20 and couldn't afford the hugely powerful Commodore 64. :lol:

Also worth noting.. I don't believe it's the same team that built the original Commodore name up. Just a 'namesake' if you like.

Sort of like the Amiga tower units that came out just before they went off the radar.

Interesting none the less!

I've got a fully loaded Amstrad CPC664 with a HUGE 10Mb hard disc scabbed onto it via a home made disc interface. I never did fill up that HD either......... :roll:

I never forget a chap at work who was amazed by the computer he had got his son for Christmas

I asked him what it was and was told after much trying to remember......an Admiral sixty something. :lol:

Well...he was close.....I knew what he meant :roll:
