C 64 C

C 64c - 04
A new "c-128" style design for the old C64. 
 
The commodore 64 is, along with the Apple II and the Atari XL computers,
the most famous home computer. 
During its production from 1982 to 1993 (!) 17 to 22 million (!) of these
computer would sell, to put in perspective, that's more than all the
Macintoshes in the world. 

It was one of the first to offer a high quality sound chip and graphic
resolution with many colors and sprites. 

A great range of peripherals was developped for this computer and can use
several of the Vic 20 peripherals.

C 64c-04:

This was bought via ebay for 53€
The guy was from Assenede (near Zelzate) on 05/03/2002.

I first stopped in Zelzate to buy a ZX SPECTRUM.

The C 64 C came with a disk drive, a cassette player, Philips monitor,
2 joysticks, 4 cartridges, power supply, lots of disks and lots of manuals.

When I was there I told the guy my hobby is collecting old computers and 
he answered to this that he also had a Tandy 2000 on the attic and maybe
I was interested.

Of course I had interest in it but he didn’t find it and came out with
a trs 80.
