It's 54 degrees outside and about 8 degrees inside. I'm freezing my wangdoodle off.

And weird-- the top story on cnn.com right now is about the Commodore 64's 25th anniversary. I had one of those jokers. Still the baddest-ass computer ever.

Oh, totally! It had a little thingy that you'd hook it up with, just like an Atari. In fact, it also used Atari joysticks, and there were a TON of games for it. Kids copied the fuck out of the games and passed them around on floppies (when they actually WERE floppy). That's really where the popularity came from, as a gaming system. But I had a modem for mine and was online with it back over twenty years ago!

oh man thats nuts!
my first taste of the internet was probably when I was like 11-12 (almost 15 years ago) and my cousin had Prodigy. I thought that was the coolest shit ever.

this is the greatest blast from the past...I almost wanna go dig through my parents attic and check the commodore out.
