I have loved computers since my Timex Sinclair 1000 in 1982. Then my #C64 that I got for Xmas in 1983, which I still use. #Commodore64 #Commodore #RetroComputing #retrogaming #retrogames

This is my Commodore 64 that I received for Xmas 1983. I LOVE it and use it the most out of all my Commodore computers. It sits on the desk I built for it in 1984 in 11th grade woodshop.
I truly LOVE the look of the Commodore 64 Breadbin! I prefer it over the look of the C64C and its wedge case. Taking a straw poll, you are being given a C64 and can choose a C64 Breadbin or C64C, which to you pick and why. #C64 #Commodore64 #Commodore #WeAreCommodore
