      And perhaps they went as far as mounting their 1541 disk drive under the desk? They're amazing!

      ​@@mariashmark3135as I child I figured out that the antenna cable out port at our C64 was so powerful, that I could stick a small screwdriver in it and pick the signal up with our old antenna tv.
      So one cable is gone. Now it is your turn ;)

    I learned how to play Bach’s Invention #13 just because it reminds me of the old C64 commercials when I was a kid.

      Nope. My mother wouldn't give up our C64 to let my father do that. She was too busy on there looking up recipes.

      Same goes for Amiga 500. But still, every single 80's computer commercial displayed column and pie charts. Apple, IBM and Commodore. Every single one had these Excel-style charts. Those must've somehow really appealed to people back then.

      I guess you could use a stock market program that's on cartridge? And then perhaps this guy was in the tutorial mode, as he obviously hadn't bought a modem yet. Yeah ok, that's a long shot.
