Anyone else see this? An article about how the Commodore 64 is being released again. Oh, how many hours I spent on our Commodore 64 when I was young! I've been a geek as long as I can remember (I think I can thank my Dad for that) and it was pretty exciting to be one of the first families I know to have a PERSONAL COMPUTER! I typed in little programs from the Family Computing Magazine and watched pixel-by-pixel as amazing (at least for that day and age) pictures and programs appear on my little 13-inch monitor. I was hooked on the power of computers. Years later, I find myself having spent much of my adult life in front of a computer monitor--as both a software engineer/computer programmer and a digital scrapbooker. How different my life would be without my computer!

Hi Glynis!
I saw a link to your site from a comment on the Forum at Faithwriters! I love this post! I used to have a Commodore 64, too! It was such a thrill to be able to write small programs that shot back simple data or to become a sysop on a little cyber network before the internet...I can't believe they are bring this back!
Hope to see you at the Faithwriter's conference!
Cathy
