A little bird told us that the team from Hilligoss Bakery in Indiana is using an original Breadbin C64 as their point-of-sale device. We have to admit that is pretty sweet.
Can someone grab us an old-fashioned?

New keyboard installed!
I would like to fix the old one but I don't have the tools necessary to extract the broken plungers from inside the keypads right now... So, adding that to my to do list!

holy shit i'm trying to make music with Furnace tracker using the VIC 20 chip and it's pissing me off:

- why is F out of tune
- why is volume global
of course, this misery is self inflicted, but my question remains WHY??

Feeling good today, finally got the garage cleaned up enough to have a workbench again! :)
Although I've still got so much stuff laying around, it really might be time to let go of a few things and give them better homes

Speaking of the datasette I spent all of yesterday trying to record VIC 20 programs to tape from a WAV file using a dinky cassette recorder I got from Amazon, and could not get any completely successful loads.
Anybody know of some high fidelity cassette recorders that are
perfect for the task?
