You had a Commodore 64? Luxury. We had to chop down tree, make own paper on own time, then stab arm with sharp stick and write reports in own blood.
Always ask why.

I still have an Atari 800 boxed up somewhere. Used it a few times then boxed it back up. Wow they only had 64K of RAM back then, no hard drive, and used a 5-1/4 inch floppy disk.

I still have my Commodore 64. Most of it is boxed up in the basement.
I use the monitor as a tv in my den. :lousyputer:
I always follow the rules.
The only exception to the rule occurs when I make an exception to the rule not to make an exception to the rule and that only occurs under exceptional circumstances.

Correction, the Atari 800 either had 4k or 8k ram. With the ram that the present line of computers have now, it is hard to beleive that 8k was enough to do anything. I had the old Timex/Sinclair computer and beleive it had 8k or 16k in it.
