Yesterday I acquired a Commodore 64 computer secondhand. The Commodore 64 was an early personal computer, first manufactured in 1982. It was known for its amazing (for the time) sound and graphics, which (naturally) made it the ideal personal computer for video games. I got one in fifth grade, and had massive amounts of fun with it before it burned a resistor (or something) and stopped working.
The man I got the computer from yesterday was a man in my church who first taught me how to use my computer back when I was in elementary school - so now the circle is complete! Today I dug out all my old 5.25" floppy disks from the basement and am getting ready to engage in some serious old-school gaming.

Hooray for the good old days!! Glad that you can enjoy this.
Hi Mark I am so glad to find your blog and catch up on your life! I have no idea about the computer thing, but I hope you have a grand ole time! Please keep the entries coming!
I hadn't thought about it in forever, but Scott's first computer was also a Commodore 64. I think at that time I still thought the computer craze would soon pass. Hmmm.
