| Commodore 64 is 25 Years Old | Tuesday, 2007 December 11 - 11:14 am |
| Wow. And I missed the celebration. I already wrote about the good old Commodore 64 a while ago, but there's one thing I didn't talk about, and that's the Apple II vs. Commodore 64 "war" that went on at the time... at least, among us geeks. I was firmly on the Commodore 64 side; I mean, I always remembered the Apple II as having weird four-color graphics, with entirely too much purple, cyan, and green.  Whereas, the Commodore 64 had 16-color graphics, hardware support for animated sprites, and the best sound chip of any computer on the market at the time.  Man, I did love that old computer. I still haven't finished that project to copy all my old programs onto DVD... maybe now that the Great Blog Migration project is essentially done, I'll have some time for that. |
