Trash-80 COCO > Comodore 64.
Absolutely. After my MC-10 I got a Coco, then a Coco2, and then a Coco3.
The only advantage the C-64 had was a
built-in FDD, but that was half the fun... installing the 512KB memory upgrade, third-party FDD controller, and external drive.
By the time I installed Microware OS9/6809, I was rockin' with multi-user, multi-tasking goodness. Installed "Deskmate" a GUI-based desktop suite.
The only problem was that I had no mouse so I used a joystick to move the cursor. Shortly after that I decided to take a break from computers and come back when they were more user-friendly. That was with the arrival of Win95. It took a while to get used to using a mouse instead of a joystick.
I think you are confusing the C64 with the Amiga500?
Neither the C64 (breadbox) nor the C64-II had a FDD built in. I omitted the datasette drive back then, went straight to a 1541 (external) FDD.
The Amiga looked much like the C64-II but had a 3,5" FDD built in on the right side.
Or did you mean the C128? I can't ffs remember if it had a built in FDD.
Does anyone have the list of WO members that need to be woken up at 50K?

wake up?? for 50k?? *shudder* maybe 75k would be worth waking up for, just to hit snnoze bar while glancing at the chart.
i have lulz amount set to fire at 50k, just for reasons so ill know when it was.
Hmm, thanks for reminding me. However, i'm not sure as i was.
Reason: I have a (small) enlargement of the house going on, but it's still in pause mode because of winter. So i put the money me and wifey have saved in BTC in december. The work should go on within the next weeks, i have to cash out at least half of what i put into BTC. If i decide to cash out at $50k, i'd only liquidate half of the original BTC amount, because i'd have the whole money back. As things develop, i'd rather wait as long as i can.
Don't sell the corn. In 10 to 20 years, each one will be 6 to 7 digits worth of US fiat.
I don't want to sound gauche, but I have more BTC than I will reasonably be able to spend in this lifetime. Will be passing along a life-changing sum of coins to my nieces and nephews upon my passing. I believe I am on record stating that I don't ever plan on liquidating more than an additional
n BTC in this lifetime, to give you some perspective.
Sir
EDIT: Read about modem hax0rs movies, wanted to add the movie "23", sporting an original DEC PDP-11 computer. It was a german movie, maybe it was translated/synchronized in english as well, which i don't know.
Battery's drained and the power supply i can't find for the heck of it. See you later (maybe at new ATH?)
