HP van Braam

It just occurred to me that 6 months before #windows95 came out, you could buy a brand spanking new #Commodore64.

Possibly in the same store you bought your PENTIUM 90?!

I guess with the Commodore 64 ultimate you can ALSO buy a Commodore 64 at the same time as a 64 core threadripper...

@hp I never saw much of that style of computer, I only really knew pcs, and to this day it surprises for how long they were contemporaries.

@hp It is to my eternal regret that I never owned a Commodore 64.

@retrosponge you can just buy one now! The C64 ultimate is really nice from everything I've heard about it.

@hp Sadly I am disabled and I'm very limited income so it's all far too expensive for me.😕

@retrosponge I'm sorry to hear that ... 😞

An emulator on an old raspberry pi and a decent keyboard can get you quite far too tho!
