The History of Personal Computing

Commodore 64

Are you keeping up with the Commodores? Well we are… and HOW! Join us on this, part two of Episode 15, where David discusses its next generation cousin, the Commodore 64, and we do our eBay finds.

For your convenience (and maybe due to our laziness), we’ll put an identical set of shownote links in each part.

In this show, we decided to try and loosen up a bit with a little more active commentary (which unfortunately lead to its length). If you find this particular episode’s style better than the older shows, or prefer the original style, please let us know by contacting us through the many forms of feedback mentioned at the bottom of these shownotes.
