@iiidiy On closer inspection, the receipt shows it was purchased at $99!

@brubarwal Hah! You're right! I wonder how the original buyer snagged that deal?

@iiidiy yeah, I wish I could go back and snap up a few. ;)

By 1989, in the US one could still buy a brand new cost-reduced #commodore64 C for only $140.

Weekends are the best ends.

Reading this headline made me audibly exclaim, "Oh no!" to the level where my wife jumped and asked what was wrong.

"Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak suffers minor stroke"

@mos_8502 hah!!

@mos_8502 Musk is an egotistical nut, but I do have to give him props for helping to usher in the electric car era. And his space exploits are interesting to me (his satellite control worrisome). But the way he took a wrecking ball to Twitter and its brand is just sad.

It's kind of amazing how many companies (i.e. seemingly 99.9%) simply refuse or have willfully ignored updating their websites with the X logo vs the bird. The #twitter bird is still everywhere.

Even 'big boys' like Adobe, Netflix, NYTimes & The Guardian, Spotify...

They keep on flappin those wings.

My main setup in 2017. The monitor on the A2K was a beast!

@amarok
I finished part 1 and it was great. It wasn’t hard by any stretch, but just a very enjoyable experience and impressive to behold.

She does utilize the talents of an artist with the hires graphics and character designs. But yeah, makes her own tools, creates everything else. And has a full time job!

@amarok have you played the first one?

Something WICKED this way comes

No, this isn't Nintendo. This is COMMODORE! 💪

@thomasfuchs If you got it from Ray in Wasthington state - yeah, most of his PSUs look like this. The badge was something I got separately from someone else.

In the past few months he's sold off his vast (hoarded) collection of computers and parts, ceased all repair services and will only make made-to-order PSUs for a little while longer. His wife is ill and he has to care for her almost entirely now.

Glad I got a few of his PSUs - they'll outlast me.

There, that’s better.
