Anybody on this site actually program a c64 or write any utils. Lets see some of you work. Always wanting utils and programs that can do something IE:- sort tax out, help with Maths etc....

Had phone problems which I've finally sorted out and came here to catch up but there's nothing lately?

Well I have had a play with the O/S system and to be honest. I don't think the C64 is powerful enough to run the software. I found it very sluggish and not very interesting. The O/S should have come on a Cart of some sort. This would allow more memory. Plus a EPROM type of chip so the memory of the C64 is not being hammered to much. So for me the O/S is not worth buying. What are your comments on the O/S for the C64.

I had a scammer phone me the other day saying that my computer had a virus. So I told the person I only use a C64. He said press this key to get on the internet, I said what key..? And told him again I used a C64 only. I can't repeat what we final told me to do, but he tried everything to try and access my C64. Strange it is not on the internet... Has anybody else done the same and wound one of these Scammers up with old tech.

With Christmas fast approaching what memories do you have of your 64 and Christmas. Did you receive your 64 or games as a Christmas present? I had my 64 as my main present in 1984. I remember getting Little Computer People, Koronis Rift & Scarabaeus the following Christmas and Labyrinth the Christmas after that. I always looked forward to the Christmas issue of Zzap64. And who can forget the Commodore Christmas demo! To me Christmas and the 64 have always gone hand in hand.
