Good for you Johnny.
I assume that you're speaking of the tan-colored C64, which was my first computer. Heck, it was the first computer of just about everyone my age. I didn't have the monitor though, or the cassette drive. Also, I had to rock the power switch up and down a couple of times quickly to get the darn thing to come on. Bought it at a yard sale about 20 years ago, total snow job. I wasn't told anything of the problem with it. The guy probably thought it was totally dead. Also with it was a LOT of floppy disks, and a Commodore 1525 printer that was as slow as cold molasses and the ribbons were no longer available.
