[NSRCA-discussion] Merry Christmas to me!!

[Jay Marshall]

I liked the Radio Shack Color Computer. The schematics were in the Motorola
computer chip catalog so I hand built one by wire wrapping. Copied the OS
from a real model. Great little unit after increasing the memory.

With all that could be done on a 64K machine... it makes you wonder why they
need 1 megabyte just for Windows XP registry with a basic installation (I've
seen a 2.5 megabyte registry file...)

I had a C64 for a couple of years . . .   ran an operating system called
GEOS that actually made it functional for more than games. Had an external
5.25" floppy drive and a Star parallel printer. Those were the days.

Last night my son gave me the coolest Christmas Gift. . . . a brand new
(well, kind of). . .Commodore 64 computer!!
 
He began giggling uncontrollably when I right-clicked on a Windows icon and
showed him that it took up a little more than 64K of memory, and that is all
the memory the C64 used for everything.
 
I think he's facinated with a computer that doesn't have storage, sound, or
<GASP> a mouse.
