What do you mean C64? Back in 1980, I had a Commodore VIC-20. Talk about a
machine!!!

It came with 5Kb of RAM, but the operating system took up 1.5K, so I had to
program it with 3.5Kb.

Talk about the need to not waste a single byte! Yet, I was able to do many
things on that computer, even my first online activities at several bbs and
even CompuServe.

I wrote my own pacman game, and had so much fun on that thing. Of course, I
bought lots of game cartridges and stuff, but my most fun came from
successfully writing and running my very own programs.

I miss the old goto days.
