Commodore 64

I never actually had one of those cool Commodore 64 units – I actually got started in the whole thing in the mid-80s direct with PC.

Since you asked, my first unit, purchased in 1985 for about $3000, was an AT&T AT6300 screamer with a 80286 CPU (“Turbo AT”) at 12MHz, with 640mb of RAM and a 20mb hard drive running DOS 3.3. Sweet!

This is a link to a site that describes my exact unit: The Trailing Edge.

eWeek has a nice little ditty about looking back at the author’s first Commodore 64. It’s pretty good. Find it here.
