I loved my Commodore 64. As a writer, in economic terms it provided the greatest amount of utility -- i.e., the ability to revised without retyping -- I could then imagine. I wrote a book that was later published on mine!
I wrote all my law school outlines and papers on a Commodore 64 and a daisy wheel printer. I remember long nights waiting hours for a 15 page paper to print. I even got a modem.... 300 baud, no graphics, and you could see each character as it appeared on screen....
Boy did it seem fast......
Good times.....sort of.
