Commodore 64 25th Anniversary

Oh how I miss the trusty ole Commodore 64. I have used computers for nearly 27 years now. The first home computer my parent's purchased was the Commodore 64. My father encouraged me to learn BASIC, the first programming language I ever learned. The most I could do was:

10 Print "Hello"
20 Goto 10

I remember typing my first paper about the giant planets of the Solar System with WordPerfect back in 9th Grade on the Commodore 64.  Those were the days.  I eventually moved up to the Commodore Amiga 500 which I used until 1996.

This week is the 25th Anniversary of the Commodore 64.  Read up about at CNET.com.
