I had the tan C64 too (with cassette data recorder and 1541 disk drive, plus an MPS803 printer), back in the '80s; it was my first digital computer system. It is long gone now, as I got rid of it when I moved here in 1999 (no room in my apartment for two computers, as I had purchased a Windows 98 system when I moved here). I also used the C64 with an amateur radio packet modem from about 1989 until '99. I can't say I miss that system (my present Windows XP computer runs rings around it), as it had very little memory space (64k) and was slower than molasses in June, by today's standards, with a processor that ran well under 100 MHz; in fact, I think the C64's processor speed was in the single digits. But what could one expect from a system like this in the '80s, when home computers were still relatively new?
