* "Timex". For you across-the-Pond types... ...!

WWWWOOOOWWWW!!!

You have ANY idea of what and how many memories you jogged loose?

Still remember when it (the Speccy, as you call it) fought for predominance on the Italian market with the Commodore C64... a fight it was doomed to loose.



My first REAL home computer, the C64... after a mostly ruinous stint with a Commodore PET CBM 3032 + external high density double 5-1/4 inch floppy drive (formatted at 1.2Mb... which was STELLAR back then)... on which I could not find a game to play (at the times, the videogames were the topmost priority).

But even for the victor, the Boss of the 80ies, the day came he had to die. Killed by its son, the Commodore Amiga.

Rest in peace C64. The golden days will never be forgotten, and so will you.

Was going to break out my copy of Daley Thompson's Decathlon for the speccy over the last few weeks, but couldn't find a tape player any more
