@gruber @limi boo hiss

I'll stack the C128's colors + sound next to the //c any day, even though they both died. Plus it had 3 OSes to choose from. Pretty cool.

Honestly pre-1991 C='s hardware was solid. Post 1991 it quickly became dated (and C= sat on it pretty much from the day they either made it or acquired it). The 90s ate Commodore's lunch. Leadership was tragically clueless.

80s, though? They had the best-selling computer before the invention of the iPhone.

@gruber @limi I tend to agree with that sentiment. Their marketing dept (and R&D) seemed so incredibly broken by the late 80s. And their complete lack of knowing what to do with Amiga has been chronicled ad nauseam.

Fun chatting with you, Gruber. I’ve been a fan and DF regular since before the original iPhone. (I became a big Mac guy during the dot com boom of the late 90s.) ☮️

@thomasfuchs And yellowing plastics! I've seen quite a few A1K keyboards where only the front edge has yellowed and the rest is pristine.

I made some structural/internal upgrades for my SX-64 styled C64 Ultimate Elite w/Mechboard computer.

LOVE the new power button on the side.

Today The Guardian published a trolling article in the Opinion section titled, "My undying love for the painfully uncool Amiga"

It has been a long day. I need some music to relax.

[This was my daily driver setup in 2020. Sadly, that machine has had to undergo years-worth of repairs since. Almost ready to get back on the desk.]

Lalapalooza 1992.
I was there.

I was really lucky to get this tape as they were handed out to a few folks as we entered the the concert grounds. Amazing I still have it.

@lukhash is that true for YouTube videos as well (with credit and links to Bandcamp added, of course)?

@lukhash awesome - thanks for the clarification

All these years later (27 years since its creation?) I’ve now got a fully UNLOCKED copy of NewtHack. This means I no longer am forced to stop after beating LVL 1.

To the Amulet of Yendor! Let's go!!!
