I found site and forum when doing a search for commodore 64 repair. I'm an old (63) user starting with computer courses in 1969 at Central Texas College. Started by learning Fortran which I immed forgot. Bought my first 64 in 1982 when stationed at Ft Sill. Used a tape drive for about 6 months as my son and I typed programs in out of the Commodore Gazette. Moved up to the Amiga 500 in 88 or 89 while stationed in Germany and was a member of the anti windsnooze crowd. Retired from the Army and moved to Arkansas in 92-93 where I rented a house on the top of the hill. Went on vacation and unplugged the computer from the wall before I left but forgot to unplug the telephone line. When I got back lighting had wiped out the Amiga and I couldn't find anyone to sell me a replacement so finally ended up moving to windows 3.1. Since I've steadly moved through all of the upgrades and just now have gotten my latest toy a Sell laptop with dual core processors and Vista home OS. All of that and still can't through away the c64 and a sx64 I picked up at the local Salvation Army. I have no idea what I'm going to do with the old stuff but I know I can't quite bring myself to throwing the stuff out.
