Both C64 and the Polish are bad ass.

Don't broke what ain't fixed, or don't fix what ain't broked or whatever.

This is one of the greatest chit-chat threads, ever.

This thread should immediately be in the hall of fame.

POLSKA 64

Jack Tramiel was a Polish refugee, after all.

Commodore computers were badass. I have both a C64 and C128 that haven't received NEARLY enough love from me lately. Don't have an Amiga, though. They're kinda expensive.

In a way, you could argue that the C64 was in many ways one of the precursors of the "gaming PC," with its great graphics and sound for the time. Although, unlike gaming PCs today, it was reasonably priced.

Hmm...this thread makes me want to boot mine up!

C64 = definitive proof that jews are actually cool.

The article says the machine was used to "balance drive shafts" which isn't a thing most normal auto shops actually do. Rather than doing all the books and the payroll I think this machine has a more specialist role, one that it can probably just do forever. Replace it with a PC and get used to buying a new one every five years.

I would have said Bob Dylan but to each his own.

That's pretty cool.  I bought a C64 and a bunch of software over a year ago.  I still haven't cleaned it up and tried to boot it yet.  Maybe this will give me the drive.
