Who is getting/got a new C64 Ultimate for Christmas? If yes, why did you buy one? If not, what type of 64 do you have and why do you like it?

Hi Guys I thought it would be cool to introduce ourselves and find out a bit about each other. I'll go first I guess :-) I'm based just south of London, UK and I'm an IT Trainer (26 odd years now). Been into Commodre ever since my Dad bought a Vic 30 around 83. Some of my fave 64 games include Gunship, Elite, Uridium, The Mars Saga, Nodes of Yesod, Ghost n Goblins, Forbidden Forest, Blue Max...oh man I could go on forever! lol Looking forward to meeting you guys here!

Anybody got the C64 o/s. I have received it but not installed it yet. Does it improve the C64? Does it make the C64 run better? Usual questions....

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.

Love this, still life in the old Computers...
