Re: C64 8-bit Software Development

This is very interesting to me, because last year, I started researching and mapping out what it would take to create a retro style OS that could provide basic communication for the Internet. The plan was quite well developed and researched. I came to the conclusion that while I wanted something loo...

Re: The History of Commodore Vision OS

wow, nice format -- shout out to Jesus Christ! King of kings! :P That Genesis was quite well written and entertaining :P Gotta love the book of Genesis 8-) Oh, so Barry Altman -- the guy that originally made the Commodore64 case wanted to put an OS in there and bee-lined to Linux. Nice. This is also...

The History of Commodore Vision OS

So I've done the rounds. I've had a good like around the forums -- read (and replied to) everyone's intros, with great interest -- including Admin: Leo; which also gave me quite a bit of info, including that Leo played a role in having the c64x case built -- and also created Commodore Vision OS. Tha...

Re: "Hello World!" from Commodon

Hi CommoDON :lol:

That's certainly an interesting intro and story. It kid of feels like the first chapter of a book.

I feel like I should have been able to turn a page, so to speak and see where all that took you for the rest of your life.

What are you doing now? Did you continue with computers?

Re: Hello there.

wow, that has to be the most cheezy intro ever! haha, just kidding! :lol: Yeah, it's amazing that Commodore still holds a place in so many peoples hearts. I think the reason why that is -- is because it was a technological frontier. We went from riding our bikes around the streets and hiding in clos...

Re: hello friends

Hey Mic67_AU, I am currently living in QLD. About 3 hours inland from Townsville. Are you still in QLD? I'm from Melbourne, so I purchased all my commodores stuff from a place that was in Richmond (if I remember correctly?). It was called Maxwell computers. It's so cool to have joined a forum full o...

Re: Introductions

Hi Leo, that's quite am intro, and very interesting too. Is Leo short for Leonard? Or is your name actually Leo? My name is Leonard and I was actually born in Melbourne, Australia too. Preston, to be exact - in 1976! It's awesome to hear that people like yourself are still enthusiastic about -- and ...

Re: Hello to my C64 friends

I can't wait to use the OS when my c64 arrives. I have ordered one.

It looks like a LOT of work has gone into the OS.

Hey Bruce, I'm going to guess your age purely from the post you made.

To be fair, I'm 48.

Are you 54?

Re: Glad to be a part of the forum!

I've actually ordered a new c64 after watching Retro Recipes video. I've been messing around with Linux for quite a while, so I know about the issues that can come up. I'm sorry to hear about your issues -- and I don't envy you trying to sort them out! :lol: :geek: I feel like I'm in good hands and ...
