What’s the story behind your starting with Windows XP and then moving back to a Commodore 64?
For me, by the time Windows XP rolled around, my Commodore (128 not 64) was sadly long gone — given away at a garage sale by my parents while I was off at college.
- utensil4778 2y agoWe had essentially a computer club in middle school. The teacher introduced us to QBasic. Later in high school I took a programming course which was Java. I found the C64 at a flea market around the same time and found it much more interesting than the make-work java problems we were doing in school.
