A legendary platform in its time, it's not relegated to being an oldschool computer.

Often given the shortform "c64".

I had a bunch of stuff left with a friend, and when he moved he took it all with him. We were still in touch, but I didn't bother to get it all back.
- It's a shame, because I had some original unreleased writing meant for a diskmag.

At one point I hand-made a parallel-to-c64 conversion cable for using c64 floppy devices with a PC (I can't remember if it was for DOS or Windows).
- I ended up throwing it away. Maybe I shouldn't have.
