The C64 Returns!



I cannot tell you just how excited I am right now! The Commodore 64 computer is coming back! I got mine in 1983 then MIDI came out and I was sequencing with Dr. T's KCS (Keyboard Controlled Sequencer), daisy-chaining (yep, that's how we did it back then) my Yamaha DX-7, RX-11 drum machine, and Prophet-600 synth. I thought I was hot sh*t back then. I will try and dig up pictures later. Here's the link to the New York Times article:

Two years later I had my first Mac and then my life really changed. How cool would it be if Apple re-released a Mac Plus? I'm not sure I can sleep tonight!
