I cut my teeth on a Commodore 64 way back in the day when I was just a mere lad. I loved Commodore computers, having gone on to purchase a C128, A500+, and an A2000. I've since run C64 in emulation for years just for some of the old school games which had outstanding graphics and sound for the time. Commodore was a paragon of innovation. Unfortunately they had no business sense. I think if Commodore had remained in business, Apple might not have even gotten out the door with the Mac (since the Lisa on which it was based had such a horrendous start.) Long live Commodore 64! :-)
