Time for another nostalgia trip..

I get them regularly and the news about maybe buying Commodore did the trick!

So, remembering childhood and my path was Vic20, Atari800, c64, A500 and then A1200. I really tried to stay with Amiga but in the late 90s I had to go the PC route since I worked in IT and ended up a software developer. At least, since I can't just follow along, I went the Red Hat route instead of Windows, always a rebel.. My last A1200 was a beefed up machine with ethernet and all but I couldn't find any good browser, started coding one myself but then ordinary life stole all my time and when it was time to relocate I sold it. Stupid me.

But now, summer is coming to Sweden and I need something to do during the vacation and why not play around with retro but in a modern package. So hurry up with the deal, I need that lovely hardware with commodore os to play around with basic again and maybe make some horrible games :P

Regards

In the 17th and 18th centuries, people with 'nostalgia' were considered to have a mental illness.

Lock me up! :D

Great post - I too am looking forward to seeing how things pan out with Commodore.
