Well look at the rich guy here with a disk drive.

TBH, my first computer, a second-hand C64, did come with a disk drive (and a monitor!!), but that was in the early 90s, several years after the heyday of the sixty-four.

Sometimes you simply ignore asking why and sit in awe of the what of it all. Impressive and nostalgic.

"What would happen if developers could create any software that does pretty much anything with little to no effort?"

This question is being answered all over the Internet every day and I love it.

Commodore is the company they constantly try to delete from computing history.

It's been interesting to see how the next generations just don't care. If you had an Atari, CoCo, Ti... or nothing, that information was important back then.

Shame the article is absolutely littered with AI-isms.
