Haha, nice work! I want a C64 so bad! Or a VIC-20. I also really love how the new Raspberry Pi 400 keyboard thing harkens back to this era of computing: https:/

- the_af 6y ago(I just realized you are Charlie). Yes, I love the look of that Raspberry and of course I want one. Do I need one? Of course not, but it would make me happy. After booting up my fake C64 and playing a few games for nostalgia's sake, I'm still struggling to find the time to learn some assembly language for it as I had planned. Did you ever find the time to do something with your Apple II? If so, you should really write about it. I really, really liked your blog post, I must have read it at least three times!
- whatrocks 6y agoNot as much time as I'd like. Mostly been playing games so far (I just scored two vintage Apple II joysticks!). But one of my upcoming projects will be experimenting with its serial card. I have a vision of being able to "remote in" to the Apple II from my laptop. Then I'm thinking it will be easier to actually write code for it, since I'll be more easily able to version control it (rather than saving it down to tape or something on the actual machine). Anyway, that's what I'm thinking lately, but we'll see!
