Neat! It looks kinda like an updated version of the old C=128 that was my first personal computer as a kid. My dad picked that one up used from a guy at work along with a pile of floppies. I wasn't allowed to hook up the modem that completed the "package" so I didn't quite understand what a lot of the programs were for or why so many of the games had weird (but awesome) intro screens with flashy graphics and music better than anything in the actual games. That was my unknowing introduction to the world of BBSes and crack demos. Either way, that was a really fun computer to learn with. Came with a couple of massive manuals and booted straight into Commodore BASIC so I was making my own flashy screens and bleeps and bloops soon enough (god I loved that SID chip). Never did get the Amiga I wanted later on and by the time I could afford my own used computer, it was a beige box Intel machine running DOS.
